ESF-NSF Symposium on Aerosols for Nanostructured Materials and Devices to be held September 12, 1998 in Edinburgh, Scotland

CTS-9815476David Y.H.Pui/明尼苏达大学将为参加1998年9月12日在苏格兰爱丁堡举行的ESF(欧洲科学基金会)/NSF“用于纳米结构材料和器件的气雾剂”研讨会的年轻研究人员和学术特邀演讲者提供部分旅行支持。这次研讨会是在第五届国际气雾剂会议之前举行的。它将介绍双方获得的最新研究成果，评估通过气雾剂生产的纳米颗粒的合成和加工到材料和设备领域的趋势和机会。相关领域将包括陶瓷和电子、光学和光电子设备中的功能纳米结构。这次会议将汇聚欧洲科学家，特别是来自ESF纳米网络(纳米颗粒材料的气相合成和处理)的科学家，以及美国科学家，特别是那些拥有NSF资助项目的科学家。重点是气溶胶科学和材料科学界在纳米技术领域的联系。来自美国研究人员的12名年轻研究人员和来自欧洲的10名年轻研究人员已被选中参加并将提交论文。会议的目的之一是促进这两个区域的研究人员之间建立长期合作。

CTS-9815476David Y. H. Pui/University of MinnesotaPartial travel support will be provided for young researchers and academic invited speakers to the ESF (European Science Foundation)/NSF Symposium on "Aerosols for Nanostructured Materials and Devices", Edinburgh, Scotland, September 12, 1998. This symposium is immediately prior to the 5th International Aerosol Conference. It will present the most recent research results obtained by both parties, evaluate trends and opportunities in the field of synthesis and processing into materials and devices of nanoparticles produced via aerosols. Areas of relevance will include functional nanostructures in ceramics and electronics, optical and opto-electronic devices. The meeting will bring together European scientists, particularly from the ESF NANO-network (Vapor-phase Synthesis and Processing of Nanoparticle Materials), and US scientists, particularly those with NSF funded projects. An emphasis is on connection between aerosol science and material science community in the area of nanotechnology. Twelve young researchers from US researchers and ten from Europe have been selected for participation and will present papers. A purpose of the meeting is to facilitate the establishment of long term cooperation among researchers in both regions.
