ABSTRACTProposal Number: CBET-0707510Principal Investigator: Tomalia, DonaldAffiliation: Central Michigan UniversityProposal Title: National Science Foundation Workshop Proposal: Periodic patterns and Relationships of Well-Defined Nano-Building Blocks Intellectual MeritBased on unique nano-periodicity patterns that have been observed and documented for two well defined nano-modules (i.e., dendrimers and colloidal metal clusters/quantum dots) there is substantial optimism that a unifying strategy for defining "nano-periodicity" either within or between certain quantized nano-modules may be possible. Success in this endeavor would provide new perspectives and strategies for predicting physico-chemical properties, as well as risk/benefit parameters in the field of nano-materials. It is proposed that a two day NSF Workshop meeting be organized which is composed of (10-15) interdisciplinary, "nanoscale module experts" and certain interested NIH, NCL, FDA and/or EPA representatives. The objective of the workshop would be to examine documented examples of nano-periodicity patterns existing within known nano-building block categories (i.e., dendrimers, quantum dots, nanotubes, fullerenes, viruses, proteins, DNA/RNA and other well defined colloidal materials), as well as nano-patterns that exist between these building blocks categories. This focus would include critical nano issues such as; size scaling, architecture, self assembly processes, chemical reactivities, chemical bond formation, stoichiometries, shape relationships, physical/chemical properties and nano-characterization methodologies. Broader ImpactNanotechnology has become a widely studied subject across many disciplines. Unification will become increasingly necessary in order to realize the potential achievements promised. The invited speakers are among the top experts from various sectors, selected to cover various angles of this topic from multi-disciplinary perspective. Important outcomes of the proposed workshop include the articulation of the potential evolution of a universal nano-materials nomenclature., which will have wide ranging impact on the science and on industrial applications. The results of discussion will be summarized in a final report which will consist of recommendations to sponsoring agencies, proposed roadmap and R/D needs and priorities in related areas, formation of task forces for follow up on action items and recommendations.

摘要提案编号：CBET-0707510主要研究者： Tomalia，DonaldAffiliation： 中密歇根大学提案标题：国家科学基金会研讨会提案：明确定义的纳米构建块的周期性模式和关系知识产权基于已经观察到并记录了两个明确定义的纳米模块（即，树枝状聚合物和胶态金属簇/量子点），对于在某些量化纳米模块内或之间定义“纳米周期性”的统一策略是可能的，存在相当乐观的看法。这一奋进的成功将为预测纳米材料领域的物理化学性质以及风险/效益参数提供新的视角和策略。建议组织为期两天的NSF研讨会，由（10-15）名跨学科的“纳米级模块专家”和某些感兴趣的NIH、NCL、FDA和/或EPA代表组成。研讨会的目的是审查已知纳米构建块类别（即，树枝状聚合物、量子点、纳米管、富勒烯、病毒、蛋白质、DNA/RNA和其他明确定义的胶体材料），以及存在于这些构建块类别之间的纳米图案。这一重点将包括关键的纳米问题，如;尺寸缩放，架构，自组装过程，化学反应，化学键形成，化学计量，形状关系，物理/化学性质和纳米表征方法。更广泛的影响纳米技术已成为许多学科广泛研究的课题。为了实现所承诺的潜在成就，统一将变得越来越必要。受邀的演讲者是来自不同领域的顶级专家，从多学科的角度涵盖这个主题的各个角度。拟议的讲习班的重要成果包括阐明通用纳米材料命名法的潜在演变。这将对科学和工业应用产生广泛的影响。讨论的结果将总结在一份最后报告中，该报告将包括对赞助机构的建议、拟议的路线图和相关领域的研究/发展需求和优先事项，以及为跟进行动项目和建议而成立的工作队。
