U.S.-Czechoslovak Workshop on Novel Polymers for Bioengineering (December 11-14, 1990, Prague)

这次美国-捷克研讨会的主要目的是将两国领先的聚合物研究人员聚集在一起，研究与生物材料有关的基本主题。具体地说，讨论将以几个重要的聚合物系统为特色，包括与合成方法、结构和形态分析(表面和整体)以及性能测量方法和结果有关的主题。预期的多学科互动应能促进后续的聚合物材料基础研究项目，这些材料具有在水凝胶和可生物降解聚合物等领域长期使用的潜力。这一聚合物研究合作研讨会通过使美国和东欧的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在相互感兴趣和能力很强的领域汇集研究资源，从而实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。

The primary purpose of this U.S.-Czechoslavak workshop is to bring leading polymer researchers together from both countries to examine fundamental topics pertaining to biomaterials. Specifically, discussions will feature several important polymer systems and include topics relating to synthetic methods, structural and morphological analysis (surface and bulk), and property measurement methods and results. The intended multidisciplinary interaction should stimulate follow-on basic research projects on polymeric materials with long-term potential for use in areas such as hydrogels and biodegradable polymers. This cooperative workshop in polymers research fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
