0407675PI - Scott Perry, University of HoustonProject SummarySymposium Title"Friction, Lubrication, and Adhesion in Micro- and Nano-Scale Devices"The purpose of this symposium is to bring together two groups of researchers-those studying the basic science of tribology on the small scale and those making practical small devices where such tribological phenomena are important-in a forum where they can exchange information and results. This exchange should have a broad impact on the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology by fostering stronger ties between researchers working in different subcommunities of these fields. This proposal requests funds for the support of scientists and engineers traveling to this symposium. In recent years, nanoscience and nanotechnology have dominated much of the cutting edge activities of the scientific and engineering research communities. Within nanoscience, the subfield of nanotribology has been an ongoing activity over the last few decades. Numerous researchers have been elucidating how the tribological phenomena of friction, lubrication, wear and adhesion occur at the atomic and molecular level. This focus on understanding tribological phenomena at the small scale has revitalized the field of tribology, converting it from a black art into a cutting edge scientific field. This has led to a tremendous increase in the predictive power tribology science, particularly for phenomena on the submicron scale. Better collaborations areneeded, however, between the chemists, physicists, and material scientists doing fundamental research and technologists trying to capitalize on these results.In nanotechnology, researchers try to build devices where one or more components of have dimensions on the nanometer scale. For devices where components move relative to each other, such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), nanotribological phenomena often govern how well they work. Much could be gained if the nanotechnologists who make small devices learnt what the nanotribologists already know. Further nanotribologists could better focus their research efforts if they understood better the practical tribological problems encountered by nanotechnologists.

0407675PI - Scott Perry，休斯顿大学项目摘要研讨会题目为“微纳米级设备中的摩擦、润滑和粘附”，本次研讨会的目的是将两组研究人员聚集在一起——研究小型摩擦学基础科学的研究人员和制造此类摩擦学现象重要的实用小型设备的研究人员——在一个论坛上，他们可以交换信息和结果。这种交流应该对纳米科学和纳米技术领域产生广泛的影响，促进在这些领域的不同亚群体工作的研究人员之间建立更强的联系。本提案要求为参加本次研讨会的科学家和工程师提供资金支持。近年来，纳米科学和纳米技术已经主导了科学和工程研究界的许多前沿活动。在纳米科学中，纳米摩擦学的分支领域在过去的几十年里一直是一项持续的活动。许多研究者已经在原子和分子水平上阐明了摩擦、润滑、磨损和粘附等摩擦学现象是如何发生的。这种对小尺度摩擦学现象的理解使摩擦学领域焕发了活力，将其从一门黑色艺术转变为一门前沿科学领域。这导致了摩擦学科学预测能力的巨大增长，特别是对亚微米尺度上的现象。然而，化学家、物理学家和从事基础研究的材料科学家与试图利用这些结果的技术专家之间需要更好的合作。在纳米技术中，研究人员试图构建一个或多个组件具有纳米尺度的设备。对于元件相互相对移动的设备，例如微机电系统（MEMS），纳米摩擦学现象通常决定了它们的工作效果。如果制造小型装置的奈米技术专家能学到奈米摩擦学家已经知道的东西，就会有很多收获。如果纳米摩擦学家更好地理解纳米技术专家遇到的实际摩擦学问题，他们就可以更好地集中研究精力。
