Symposium Entitled: 'New Synthetic Methods in Solid-State Chemistry', at the American Chemical Society Meeting in San Francisco, CA; March 26-31, 2000

美国化学学会固态化学新合成方法研讨会将于2000年3月26日至31日在加利福尼亚州旧金山弗朗西斯科举行。 会议的目标是促进广泛的研究人员之间的多学科互动和信息交流，包括CAREER资助者，以及在固态化学广泛领域的优先领域工作的顶尖博士后学者和研究生。NSF的资金将用于支持年轻的Pi，研究生和博士后学者的出席。%固态化学界继续通过设计、合成和应用新材料对重要技术领域产生直接影响，这些领域对推动社会发展至关重要。例子包括用于催化的多孔固体，用于电子和电光器件的薄膜，以及用于高强度复合结构材料的纳米结构材料。 由于这些技术领域对工业具有非常高的优先级，因此在这些涉及固态化学的多学科领域接受教育和培训的学生在就业市场上竞争非常激烈，并继续以许多重要的方式为全球经济做出贡献。

The American Chemical Society Symposium on New Synthetic Methods in Solid-State Chemistry will be held in San Francisco, CA March 26-31, 2000. The goal of the conference is to facilitate multidisciplinary interactions and information exchange within a broad spectrum of researchers, to include CAREER grantees, and top post doctoral scholars and graduate students working in priority areas of the broad field of solid-state chemistry. The NSF funds will be used to support the attendance of young Pi's, graduate students and post doctoral scholars. %%% The Solid State Chemistry community continues to have direct impact on important technological areas that are crucial to advancing society through the design, synthesis and application new materials. Examples include porous solids for catalysis, thin films for electronics and electrooptic devices, and nanostructured materials for high-strength composite structural materials. Since these technical areas are of very high priority to industry, students educated and trained in these multidisciplinary areas involving solid-state chemistry compete very well in the job market and go on to contribute in many significant ways to the global economy.
