An International Symposium on Micelles, Microemulsions and Monolayers: Quarter Century Progress and New Horizons; August 1995; Gainesville, Florida

在过去的25年里（1970-1995），在胶束、微乳液和单层上做了大量的工作。这项工作不仅具有基础科学意义，而且与洗涤剂、微电子、纳米颗粒合成、食品、制药和生物技术等广泛的技术相关。胶束的动态特性，如通过压力跳变、温度跳变、停止流动、超声波吸收、激波等测量的弛豫时间，为胶束溶液中的弛豫过程以及胶束的寿命提供了非常有价值的信息。在过去的25年里，微乳液已被证明在提高石油采收率、磁性材料纳米颗粒、卤化银、电子材料和超导体的制备方面具有重要作用。许多反应，如微乳液中的聚合，也被证明是非常有希望形成亚微米乳胶颗粒的。在单分子薄膜领域，许多新技术已经被设计用于研究这些系统（如STM， AFM， Brewster角度显微镜，吸收光谱等）。佛罗里达大学，国家科学基金会，工业界和参与者将以注册费的形式组织一次关于该主题的国际研讨会。本次研讨会将邀请来自美国各大学的约30名研究生和博士后参加。将有三位全体发言人和20位受邀发言人，以及许多关于这三个主题的口头和海报报告。研讨会结束后，将组织半天的工作坊。从受邀演讲者中选出的世界级研究人员将参加会议。研讨会将分为三组：胶束、微乳液和单层。每个小组将总结在该领域取得的四分之一个世纪的进展，并列出在研讨会上提出的新展望。这些摘要将由首席研究员（Shah博士）编写，并将成为提交给美国国家科学基金会的最终报告的基础。该报告还将包括对专题讨论会讨论的各种主题的科学和技术相关性的描述。讨论会将于1995年8月28日至31日在佛罗里达大学举行。研讨会的前三天将包括所有三个领域的特邀演讲和一般论文。第四个半天将专门用于研讨会。＊＊＊

9503607 Shah In the past twenty-five years (1970-1995), considerable work has been done on micelles, microemulsions and monolayers. This work is not only of basic scientific interest, but is also relevant to a broad range of technologies including detergency, microelectronics, nanoparticle synthesis, food, pharmaceutical and biotechnology. Dynamic properties of micelles such as relaxation time measurements by pressure-jump, temperature-jump, stopped-flow, ultrasonic absorption, shock wave, etc. have produced very valuable information about the relaxation processes in micellar solutions as well as for the life-time of micelles. During the past twenty-five years, microemulsions have been shown to be relevant to enhanced oil recovery, and preparation of nanoparticles of magnetic materials, silver halides, electronic materials and superconductops. Many reactions such as polymerization in microemulsions have also been shown to be very promising for the formation of submicron latex particles. In the area of monomolecular films, many novel techniques have been designed to study such systems (such as STM, AFM, Brewster Angle Microscopy, absorption spectroscopy, etc.) An International Symposium on this topic will be organized with funding from the University of Florida, National Science Foundation, industry and participants in the form of registration fees. About thirty graduate students and post doctoral associates from universities in the United States will be invited to participate in this symposium. There will be three plenary speakers, and twenty invited speakers as well as many oral and poster presentations on these three topics. At the end of the symposium, a half-day workshop will be organized. This will be attended by a panel of world class researchers chosen from among the invited speakers. The workshop will be organized into three groups: micelles, microemulsions, and monolayers. Each group will summarize the quarter century progress made in that area, and list the new ho rizons as presented in the symposium. These summaries will be compiled by the Principal Investigator (Dr. Shah) and will form the basis for the final report to be submitted to the National Science Foundation. This report will also include a description of the scientific and technological relevance of various topics discussed in the symposium. The symposium will be held August 28-31,1995, at the University of Florida. The first three days of the symposium will include the invited talks and general papers in all three areas. The fourth half day will be devoted to the workshop. ***
