DMR/BMAT-0714708 (Shu Yang, University of Pennsylvania)$4000 from BMAT ($2500) and POL ($1500)Travel Support for Students, Post-Docs, and Young Faculty to Attend the Symposium on "(Bio)Polymer-Directed Mineralization" at the ACS National Meeting, March 25-27, 2007.INTELLECTUAL MERIT: Mineralized biological tissues exhibit hierarchical organization on length scales ranging from nanometers to meters. These tissues are almost always composites involving biopolymer matrices and inorganic salts. They frequently possess remarkable structural, mechanical, and optical properties that provide an inspiration for new tough and lightweight engineered hybrid materials. Control of crystal nucleation and growth is critically important for a diverse range of applications, including catalysis, lightweight structural materials, biomedical devices, and optoelectronics. This symposium brings together a group of 20 invited international experts to share their recent results on such topics as* Lessons from nature - biomineralization mechanisms and structures* Synthesis and assembly of biological and synthetic polymer templates* Mineralization directed by biological or synthetic polymers* Polymer-mediated nanoparticle synthesis and organization* Mineralization on patterned polymer templates* Construction of porous inorganic solids from micro- to macro-scale* Optical, structural, and mechanical properties of (bio)minerals* Computer modeling of polymer controlled mineralizationResearch in there areas has implications not only for creation of new engineering materials but also for therapeutic applications in healing and repair of mammalian hard tissues.BROADER IMPACT: The symposium organizers will use all of the funds awarded to facilitate attendance by graduate students, postdoctorals, and younger faculty giving oral presentations who might otherwise not be able to attend. Priority will be given to students who will attend their first national ACS meeting and to those in groups underrepresented in science. All of these attendees will have access to the latest developments in the field of bioinspired composite materials.

DMR/BMAT-0714708（Shu Yang，University of Pennsylvania）从BMAT（$2500）和POL（$1500）获得$4000的差旅费，用于学生、博士后和年轻教师参加2007年3月25日至27日ACS全国会议上的“（生物）聚合物导向的矿化”研讨会。矿化的生物组织在从纳米到米的长度尺度上表现出层次结构。 这些组织几乎总是涉及生物聚合物基质和无机盐的复合材料。 它们通常具有非凡的结构、机械和光学特性，为新型坚韧、轻质的工程混合材料提供了灵感。 晶体成核和生长的控制对于多种应用至关重要，包括催化、轻质结构材料、生物医学器件和光电子学。 本次研讨会汇集了20位受邀的国际专家，分享他们最近的成果，主题包括 * 来自自然的经验教训-生物矿化机制和结构 * 生物和合成聚合物模板的合成和组装 * 生物或合成聚合物指导的矿化 * 聚合物介导的纳米颗粒合成和组织 * 图案化聚合物模板的矿化 * 从微观到宏观尺度的多孔无机固体的构建 * 光学，结构，（生物）矿物的机械性能 * 聚合物控制矿化的计算机模拟这方面的研究不仅对创造新的工程材料，而且对哺乳动物硬组织的愈合和修复的治疗应用都有意义。更广泛的影响：研讨会组织者将使用所有的资金，以促进研究生，博士后和年轻的教师出席口头报告谁否则可能无法参加。 将优先考虑谁将参加他们的第一次全国ACS会议的学生和那些在科学代表性不足的群体。 所有这些与会者都将获得生物启发复合材料领域的最新发展。
