2000 Gordon Research Conferences on Composite Materials

戈登复合材料研究会议是为数不多的涉及材料科学领域的戈登研究会议之一。复合材料领域是高度跨学科的，需要物理学家、化学家、机械师、数学家和材料科学家的努力。戈登研究会议的气氛包括在与会者之间进行非正式讨论的充足时间，并以促进来自不同学科的科学家之间的互动而闻名。这种相互作用对于在复合材料等跨学科学科中取得进展至关重要。科学家最好的会议经验之一是参加他或她的专业领域的戈登研究会议。应邀参加2000年戈登复合材料研究会议的演讲者将讨论一系列主题，包括生物分子学、复合材料制造的新方法、纳米复合材料和界面问题。重点将放在复合材料社区应该如何处理20世纪即将结束时仍未解决的问题，以及复合材料社区应该在哪里最好地努力迎接21世纪初面临的挑战。

The Gordon Research Conference on Composite Materials is one of the few Gordon Research Conferences that address a field within the purview of materials science. The field of composite materials is highly interdisciplinary, Requiring efforts of physicists, chemists, mechanicians, mathematicians and materials scientists. The atmosphere of a Gordon Research Conference includes an ample time for informal discussions among participants and is renown for fostering interactions among scientists form different disciplines. This interaction is essential for progress to be made in an interdisciplinary subject like composite materials. One of the best conference experiences a scientist can have is to attend a Gordon Research Conference in his or her area of specialization.The speakers invited to the 2000 Gordon Research Conference on Composite Materials will cover a range of subjects, including biomemetics, novel approaches to manufacturing of composites, nanocomposites, and interfacial issues. Emphasis will be placed on how the composites community should handle the issues that remained unresolved as the 20th century come to a close, and on where the composites community should best place it's efforts to meet the challenges it faces at the beginning of the 21st Century.
