Nanomaterials Workshop: Towards Engineering Applications to be held in Montreal, Canada

RPICTS-0100019 RPICTS-0100019要求为2000年10月22-25日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的纳米材料研讨会的18名受邀与会者和演讲者提供部分旅行支持，该研讨会由CNRS和NSF共同主办。本次会议的目的是评估该领域目前的研究成果，讨论未来的研究方向和技术发展，以及为提高产业相关性所需的工作，并探索合作机会。来自学术界和工业界的工程师、材料科学家、化学家和物理学家将试图确定共同的原则和方法。主要课程将涉及积木的合成、理论挑战、表征(局部和整体技术)、机械性能、磁性和光学性能、化学和热学性能以及应用。鼓励年轻研究人员参与。来自美国和法国的特邀演讲者将分别约为18-20人，以及加拿大的特邀演讲者。将有充足的时间提问和讨论。讲习班预计将成为与会者的互动论坛。会议的一个目的是促进美国、法国和加拿大的研究人员在纳米复合材料领域的学术界和工业界建立长期合作。

AbstractR.W. Siegel, RPICTS-0100019Partial travel support for 18 invited participants and speakers at the Nanomaterials Workshop in Montreal, Canada, October 22-25, 2000, co-sponsored by CNRS and NSF, has been requested. The objective of this meeting is to evaluate the current research results in the field, discuss future research directions and technological developments, the work needed in order to increase industrial relevance, and explore opportunities of collaboration. Engineers, material scientists, chemists and physicists from academe and industry will attempt to identify common principles and approaches. The main sessions will cover synthesis of building blocks, theoretical challenges, characterization (local and bulk techniques), mechanical properties, magnetic and optical properties, chemical and thermal properties, and applications. Participation of young researchers is encouraged. There will be about 18-20 invited speakers from each U.S. and France, as well as invited speakers from Canada. Ample time will be allowed for questions and discussions. The workshop is expected to be an interactive forum for participants. A purpose of the meeting is to facilitate the establishment of long-term cooperation among researchers from U.S., France and Canada, in academe and industry in the area of nanocomposite materials.
