0456387WooleyThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan joint workshop for scientists on advances in polymer chemistry and their impacts upon society to be held in South Lake Tahoe, California from June 24-29, 2005. The co-organizers are Professor Karen Wooley at Washington University and Professor Toshio Masuda at Kyoto University in Japan. Polymers are playing an increasing important role in every person's life, by serving as structural materials, insulating materials, packaging materials, etc. for commodity and high-end products. Furthermore, there is enormous potential benefit to society by capitalizing on emerging polymer materials that have resulted from the more recent development in synthetic chemistry to control the macromolecular architecture, size, and size distribution, supramolecular chemistry to control their assembly into complex structures, and physical chemistry to study the properties and behaviors. All of the above topics, plus additional ones, will be discussed with a common focus on future directives for polymer chemistry.The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best science researchers to participate. Many advances have been realized by researchers in Japan and the US and each of these countries is recognized as a leader in the synthesis of polymers having control over the macromolecular topology, stereochemistry and regiochemistry, and in the design of such well defined materials for "programmed" supramolecular assembly, often with cues being taken from biological systems. The topics covered by the workshop are not only at the forefront of polymer chemistry, but have direct relevance and impact to major growth areas such as nanoscience and bio-related materials. The workshop organizers have made a special effort to involve postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate students as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Conference proceedings will be published in the "Journal of Polymer Science."

该奖项支持美国科学家参加将于2005年6月24日至29日在加利福尼亚州南太浩湖举行的美日科学家联合研讨会，讨论聚合物化学进展及其对社会的影响。共同组织者是华盛顿大学的Karen Wooley教授和日本京都大学的Toshio Masuda教授。聚合物在人们的生活中发挥着越来越重要的作用，作为结构材料、绝缘材料、包装材料等用于商品和高端产品。此外，利用新兴高分子材料对社会有巨大的潜在好处，这些材料是由合成化学的最新发展产生的，可以控制大分子的结构、大小和大小分布，超分子化学可以控制它们组装成复杂的结构，物理化学可以研究它们的性质和行为。所有上述主题，加上额外的主题，将讨论共同关注未来的高分子化学指令。共同组织者在该领域具有互补的科学专业知识。这使它们能够评估并吸引最优秀的科学研究人员参与。日本和美国的研究人员已经取得了许多进展，这些国家中的每一个都被认为是合成具有大分子拓扑、立体化学和区域化学控制的聚合物的领导者，以及设计用于“程序化”超分子组装的这种定义良好的材料的领导者，通常从生物系统中获取线索。研讨会所涵盖的主题不仅是聚合物化学的前沿，而且对纳米科学和生物相关材料等主要增长领域具有直接的相关性和影响。研讨会组织者特别努力让博士后、研究生和本科生作为参与者和观察员。与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。会议记录将发表在《高分子科学杂志》上。
