International Symposium on Combustion and Plasma Synthesis of High Temperature Materials

高温材料燃烧与等离子体合成国际研讨会聚焦于材料合成的三个相关领域：固态燃烧合成、气相燃烧合成以及陶瓷和金属相（包括复合材料）的等离子体合成。研讨会是国际性的。它的目的是实现以下目标：a.在美国首次在一个公开的论坛上发表固态燃烧的主题，从而有助于促进这一领域的研究活动。来自国外，特别是日本和苏联的关于成熟活动的介绍将特别加强这一点。b.汇集上述三个研究领域的研究人员，促进对材料合成和加工相关问题的思想交流。c.帮助集中注意这一过程向从事材料制备和加工的工业公司转让技术的潜力。d.让材料科学、化学工程和化学领域的研究生和博士后熟悉本领域的研究。研讨会对NSF的目标，特别是燃烧/等离子体项目（CBTE）是一个有价值的投入。这一快速发展的研究领域对美国未来的国际竞争力表现具有重要意义。

The International Symposium on Combustion and Plasma Synthesis of High Temperature Materials focuses on three related areas of materials synthesis: Solid-State Combustion Synthesis, Gas-Phase Combustion Synthesis, and Plasma Synthesis of ceramic and metallic phases including composite materials. The Symposium is international in character. It aims at accomplishing the following: a. Address in an open forum for the first time in the US the topic of solid-state combustion and thus help stimulate activities in this area of research. This will particularly be enhanced by presentations on well established activities from aboard, especially Japan and the Soviet Union. b. Bring together researchers from the three areas of investigation listed above to facilitate the exchange of ideas on problems related to synthesis and processing of materials. c. Help focus attention on the potential of this process for technology transfer to industrial firms dealing with materials preparation and processing. d. Acquaint graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the fields of Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, and Chemistry with this area of research. The Symposium is a valuable input to the objectives of NSF, and in particular to the Combustion/Plasma program (CBTE). This area of rapidly advancing research is significant to the US future performance in international competitiveness.
