I am greatly appreciative and thankful for funding and other assistance provided by the following:
| NSF, Divison of Materials Research, Ceramics Program, under the guidance of Dr. L. Schioler. | This grant, which started summer 1998, supports one graduate student (Dylan Haas) and typically supports an additional two undergraduate students. (see: project summary) |

In the new experimental setup being built under NSF support we are using a spin coater provided at no charge by SCS. We are very thankful for this generous contribution and assistance. |

Period of support is: July 2000 - June 2001, DuPont has provided financial assistance related to capillary instabilties caused by solvent evaporation during spinning. |
