This award will be used to upgrade engineering research equipment               being used in an on-going research project.  The project is a study             of high temperature lubrication of sliding systems by carbon                    generated in situ from catalytic dissociation of organic gases. The             equipment upgrades consist of a far infrared accessory and a fast               kinetic accessory to a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer.            These accessories will allow the equipment to follow fast reactions             and to distinguish hydrogen-metal bonds at the metal surface from               other bonds in the various molecules present on and near the surface.           This will make it possible to characterize the reactions and the                surfaces in detail.
