应邀参加于1999年3月28日至4月2日在阿拉斯加格德伍德（安克雷奇）举行的“纳米复合材料：设计与应用”会议的演讲者和美国年轻研究人员的部分旅费已被申请。本次会议的目的是评估该领域目前的研究成果，并讨论未来的研究方向和技术发展。来自学术界和工业界的工程师、化学家和物理学家将尝试确定共同的原则和方法，并开展合作。会议分为九个技术部分，包括概述、合成、理论、表征、各种性质和应用。来自美洲、欧洲、日本和俄罗斯的知名和年轻研究人员将参加。届时将有约40位受邀演讲嘉宾。本次研讨会将讨论与纳米级结构、给定属性的临界长度尺度、纳米级构建块的定制组装以及各种应用领域相关的主题。有充足的时间进行提问和讨论。会议的目的之一是促进纳米复合材料领域学术界和产业界研究人员之间建立长期合作关系。

Partial travel support for invited speakers and U.S. young researchers participating at the "Nanocomposite Materials: Design and Applications" conference in Girdwood (Anchorage), Alaska, from March 28 to April 2, 1999, has been requested. The objective of this meeting is to evaluate the current research results in the field, and discuss future research directions and technological developments. Engineers, chemists and physicists from academe and industry will attempt to identify common principles and approaches and develop collaborations. The conference is organized in nine technical sections, including overviews, synthesis, theory, characterization, various properties, and applications. Established and young researchers from Americas, Europe, Japan and Russia will participate. There will be about 40 invited speakers. This workshop is addressing topics related to nanoscale structures, critical length scales for given properties, tailored assembling of the nanoscale building blocks, and various areas of application. Ample time will be allowed for questions and discussions. A purpose of the meeting is to facilitate the establishment of long term cooperation among researchers in academe and industry in the area of nanocomposite materials.
