AbstractCTS-0418787M. El-Shall, Virginia Commonwealth UniversityThe purpose of this proposal is to request support to hold an international cross-disciplinary conference on Nanoparticles from the Vapor Phase Synthesis with Chemical and Biochemical Applications in Davos, Switzerland from August 8-13, 2004, www.engconfintl.org/4ba.html. This international conference will be held under the organizational sponsorship of the Engineering Conferences International (ECI). The conference title reflects both prior conferences that have focused exclusively on vapor phase synthesis, and the emphasis of this new conference on the chemical and biochemical applications of nanoparticles and nanostructures. The conference will deal with the fundamental science and technology of the vapor phase synthesis of nanoparticles and the assembly of nanostructures, composite nanoparticles and thin films. While the field of nanoparticles in physical sciences has been actively pursued over the past decade, the chemical and biochemical applications have received little attention. A major focus of this conference will be directed toward chemical and biochemical applications of nanoparticles and nanostructures. The objectives of the conference are to have in-depth discussions on the fundamental science dealing with the nucleation and growth in the vapor phase, the utilization of state of the art of technology in research in the vapor phase synthesis and the characterization of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials. The conference aims to assess the current status of the field, to identify future directions and to stimulate new research on nanoparticles design, synthesis, engineering aspects and applications. This is an interdisciplinary conference drawing participants and speakers from Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, and biological and drug delivery fields. It is meant to attract individuals working on synthesis and characterization plus those working on new chemical and biochemical applications. It is this interaction in a broad range of areas that is novel about the planned conference. This proposal therefore requests support that will be used to offset attendance costs for young scientists and senior invited speakers from the United States. Funds will be used to support ten young scientists (within the first ten years of their academic careers), postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. In addition, funds are requested to support seven senior invited speakers. Particular effort will be directed to identifying members of minority groups to participate in this conference. Intellectual Merit: The proposed workshop will advance the scientific and technological aspects of nanoparticle research. It will address new opportunities for research; discovery and invention based on the applications of vapor phase techniques to the synthesis, characterization, and chemical and biochemical applications of nanoparticles and nanocomposites. This is expected to enhance the scientific knowledge in these and other related fields, and it may lead to new exciting technologies. Broader Impact: The proposed workshop will allow young scientists and graduate students from the United States to exchange ideas, experiences and information, and to build collaborations with the international scientists working on nanoparticles. This will promote nanotechnology for the benefit of the public and private sectors in the United States. This award is funded by the Division of Chemical and Transport Sytems.

摘要CTS-0418787 M。El-Shall，弗吉尼亚联邦大学本提案的目的是请求支持于2004年8月8日至13日在瑞士达沃斯举行一次关于气相合成纳米颗粒及其化学和生物化学应用的国际跨学科会议，www.engconfintl.org/4ba.html。本次国际会议将在国际工程会议（ECI）的组织赞助下举行。 会议名称反映了之前专门关注气相合成的会议，以及这次新会议对纳米颗粒和纳米结构的化学和生物化学应用的重视。会议将讨论纳米颗粒气相合成和纳米结构组装、复合纳米颗粒和薄膜的基础科学和技术。虽然在过去的十年中，物理科学中的纳米粒子领域一直在积极探索，但化学和生物化学应用却很少受到关注。本次会议的一个主要焦点将是针对纳米粒子和纳米结构的化学和生物化学应用。 会议的目标是深入讨论气相成核和生长的基础科学，气相合成研究中最先进技术的利用以及纳米颗粒和纳米结构材料的表征。该会议旨在评估该领域的现状，确定未来的发展方向，并促进对纳米颗粒设计，合成，工程方面和应用的新研究。 这是一个跨学科的会议，吸引了来自化学，物理，材料科学，工程，生物和药物输送领域的参与者和发言者。它旨在吸引从事合成和表征的个人以及从事新化学和生物化学应用的个人。 计划中的会议的新颖之处在于这种广泛领域的互动。因此，本提案要求提供支助，用于抵消美国青年科学家和特邀高级演讲者出席会议的费用。资金将用于支持十名年轻科学家（在他们学术生涯的前十年内），博士后研究员和研究生。此外，还要求提供资金，以支助7名高级特邀发言人。将特别努力确定少数群体成员参加这次会议。 智力优势：拟议的研讨会将推进纳米粒子研究的科学和技术方面。它将解决新的研究机会;发现和发明的基础上气相技术的应用，纳米粒子和纳米复合材料的合成，表征，化学和生物化学应用。预计这将提高这些和其他相关领域的科学知识，并可能导致新的令人兴奋的技术。 更广泛的影响：拟议的研讨会将使美国的年轻科学家和研究生能够交流想法、经验和信息，并与从事纳米颗粒研究的国际科学家建立合作关系。这将促进纳米技术，使美国的公共和私营部门受益。 该奖项由化学和运输系统部门资助。
