American Chemical Society Symposium on Polymer Diffraction Methods; Orlando, FL; April 7-11, 2002

该奖项为将于2002年4月7日至1日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的美国化学学会(ACS)全国会议上举行的题为“聚合物衍射法”的研讨会的与会者提供部分旅费支持。该研讨会由美国计算机学会聚合部赞助，由凯斯西部储备大学(凯斯西部储备大学，俄亥俄州克利夫兰)和肯恩·H·加德纳(杜邦中央研究，威明顿，路易斯安那州)主持。它试图探索最新的研究进展，并在分子水平上审查聚合物结构分析的最新进展。36位受邀演讲者将在整整三天的时间里进行口头陈述，外加7篇稿件的海报会议。研讨会将是真正国际化的，将有来自法国(7)、英国(6)、日本(2)、西班牙(2)、德国(1)、加拿大(1)、意大利(1)、韩国(1)和俄罗斯(1)以及美国的发言者。除了邀请该领域的顶尖研究人员外，组织者还特意邀请了年轻科学家的演讲：新教师仍在建立他们的职业生涯(3)和非常有前途的博士后研究助理(7)，他们的参与对该领域研究的长期连续性至关重要。聚合物衍射技术为我们对这一重要类别材料的结构理解提供了很大的基础。

This award provides partial support for travel expenses for participants in a symposium entitled "Polymer Diffraction Methods" to be held at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Orlando, FL, during the week of April 7-1, 2002. The symposium is sponsored by the Polymer Division of ACS, and is chaired by John Blackwell (Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH) and Kenn H. Gardner (DuPont Central Research, Wilmington, DE.). It seeks to explore the latest research advances and to review the state of the art in structure analysis for polymers at the molecular level. There will be three full days for oral presentations by 36 invited speakers, plus a poster session with 7 contributions. The symposium will be truly international, with speakers from France (7), UK (6), Japan (2), Spain (2), Germany (1), Canada (1), Italy (1), Korea (1) and Russia (1), as well as from the USA 914). In addition to inviting the leading researchers in the field the organizers have also made deliberate efforts to include presentations by younger scientists: new faculty still establishing their careers (3) and highly promising postdoctoral research associates (7), whose participation as vital to the long-term continuity of research in the field.Polymer diffraction techniques provide the basis of much of our structural understanding of this important class of materials.
