NSF Funding Opportunity - Material Design and Surface Engineering

The Material Design and Surface Engineering program element supports generic research on links between microstructure design and control and properties, performance, and engineering of materials and surfaces for novel applications in civil and mechanical systems and components. Research is also included that expands the knowledge base on: the design of materials, coatings, and surface treatments for service under extreme conditions; tribology, corrosion, friction and wear; novel materials solutions for life-cycle design, ecomaterials, nano-technology, and biomedical applications and related model based simulation and computational materials engineering.
