2006 Corrosion Aqueous Gordon Research Conference; New London, NH; July 16-21, 2006

技术：这笔拨款将部分支持2006年戈登水溶液腐蚀研究会议。会议将于2006年7月16日至21日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比-索耶学院举行。会议涵盖了广泛的与腐蚀相关的主题，围绕“水腐蚀机制的多尺度方法，在时间和空间上的应用，以及在使能技术中的关键问题”的主题。它将包括七个相互关联的具有根本重要性的与腐蚀有关的主题，以及它们与实际应用的联系。腐蚀主题的初步列表包括[1]钝化，钝化分解和局部腐蚀；[2] Nano-corrosion;金属-氧化物-聚合物界面、涂层和缓蚀；表面生物分子和生物膜：对耐蚀性的影响，[5]模拟、建模和寿命预测；分析和电化学方法在腐蚀研究中的进展支持技术中的[7]腐蚀问题。腐蚀研究与表面科学、纳米科学、理论化学和微生物学之间的界面将是会议探索的新领域。非技术：会议将促进教育和在这一重要技术领域的学术研究。它还将在这次真正的国际会议上促进各国之间的合作与善意。所有与会者，特别是学生，将被鼓励提交海报。因此，更广泛的影响包括学生的发展和促进世界各地科学家之间的国际交流和善意。将尽一切努力使妇女和少数民族参与这一进程。一项协调一致的努力是实现妇女、种族/少数民族、残疾人和其他传统上在科学领域代表性不足的个人的适当代表性。例如，会议的副主席是一位女性。在评估同等优秀的申请人时，来自代表性不足群体的申请人将被优先考虑。在http://www.enscp.fr/CorrosionGRC上建立了一个网站来宣传这次会议，并与腐蚀社区进行交流。

TECHNICAL: This grant will partially support the 2006 Gordon Research Conference on Aqueous Corrosion. The conference will be held on July 16-21, 2006 at the Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. The conference covers a broad range of corrosion related topics centered on the theme of "Multiscale approach, in time and space, of aqueous corrosion mechanism and application to key issues in enabling technologies". It will include seven interrelated corrosion-related topics of fundamental importance, and their links to practical applications. A preliminary list of corrosion topics include [1] Passivity, passivity breakdown and localized corrosion; [2] Nano-corrosion; [3] Metal-oxide-polymer interfaces, coatings and corrosion Inhibition; [4] Biomolecules and biofilms on surfaces: Impact on the corrosion resistance, [5] simulation, modeling and life prediction; [6] Advances in analytical and electrochemical methods for corrosion research; and [7] Corrosion issues in enabling technologies. The interface between corrosion research and surface science, nanoscience, theoretical chemistry, & microbiology will be new frontiers of exploration at the conference. NON-TECHNICAL: The conference will promote education and the scholarly pursuit of research in this technologically significant field. It will also foster cooperation and goodwill amongst various nations in this truly international conference. All attendees, and students in particular, will be encouraged to present posters. The broader impacts, therefore, include student development and fostering of international exchange and good will amongst scientist worldwide. Every attempt will be made to engage women and minorities in this process. A concerted effort is to achieve an appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally under-represented in science. For example, the Vice Chair of the conference is a women. When evaluating applicants of equal merit, applicants from under-represented groups will be given preference. A web site has been set up at http://www.enscp.fr/CorrosionGRC to advertise the conference and to communicate with the corrosion community.
