3rd International Zeolite Membrane Meeting; July 25-28, 2004; Breckenridge, OH

第三届国际沸石膜会议将于2004年7月25日至28日在科罗拉多州布雷肯里奇的Great Divide Lodge举行。这笔资金将用于旅行和注册费，特别是研究生，博士后研究助理和新教员协助他们参加本次会议。这次会议的学术价值在于汇集了一群国际材料科学家、化学家和化学工程师。会议的发言人将包括许多在这一领域“前沿”工作的人。该计划将针对新的和/或改性膜材料，提供纳米级分离能力和扩展的温度和化学环境操作条件。会议主题将涵盖从基础到重要应用的各个领域。会议主题的选择是为了吸引对纳米多孔膜材料有广泛兴趣的研究人员。这次会议的广泛影响是双重的。将这一迅速发展的领域的知识传播给具有广泛兴趣的研究人员，应该为新的和有前途的研究重点提供智力刺激。此外，研究人员之间的互动应该促进跨学科的合作努力，将该领域推向新的方向。

Proposal Title: Third International Membrane MeetingPrincipal Investigator: Richard NobleInstitution: University of ColoradoThe 3rd International Zeolite Membrane Meeting will take place at the Great Divide Lodge in Breckenridge, CO from July 25th to 28th, 2004. The funding will be used for travel and registration expenses especially for graduate students, post-doctoral research associates and new faculty to assist them to participate in this meeting. The intellectual merit of this meeting is to bring together an international group of material scientists, chemists, and chemical engineers. The speakers for the meeting will include many of those working in the "cutting edge" of this field. The program will be directed to new and/or modified membrane materials that provide nanoscale separation abilities and expanded temperature and chemical environment operating conditions. The meeting topics will span the gamut from fundamentals through important applications. The session topics have been chosen to attract researchers with a wide range of interests that relate to nanoporous membrane materials. The broader impact of this meeting is two-fold. The dissemination of knowledge in this rapidly expanding field to researchers with a wide range of interests should provide intellectual stimulation for new and promising research thrusts. Also, the interactions between researchers should facilitate collaborative interdisciplinary efforts that will move the field in novel directions.
