The research deals with the drying and curing mechanisms,                  ultimately in complex bicontinuous materials like sol-gel and                   certain polymer blends.  An objective is a mathematical                         mechanistic description that accounts for stress states that                    arise, and what determines defect formation.  Drying rates and                  moisture or solvent distributions are observed experimentally.                  Moisture distributions are measured.  Stresses are measured.                    After the work on mathematical theory and testing, the results                  are applied to design, optimization, and control drying and                     curing processes for coatings.  Finally simplification of the                   theory results in more easily applied design equations.                              This project is one supported under the Creativity Awards                  for Undergraduate Engineering Students.
