The 2008 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting will be held December 1-5 in Boston, Massachusetts. Forty-five (45) symposia will be the technical core of the meeting, among them the F08QQ Synthesis and Processing of Organic and Polymeric Functional Materials for a Sustainable Energy Economy Symposium. Photovoltaics and solid-state lighting are examples of technologies that are envisaged in a new sustainable energy economy since these technologies would enable us to use a renewable energy source and to use present energy sources more efficiently. This symposium will be the venue for discussing novel synthesis and processing methods to fabricate organic and functional polymeric materials. Session topics include synthesis of organic and functional polymers for low-dimensional and three-dimensional materials, novel methods for directed assembly and printing, synthesis of engineered polymers and materials for optimal photon-electron energy transfer, synthesis of novel architectures to optimize energy transfer across interfaces, new materials for optoelectronics and photovoltaics, "Green" synthesis and processing methods, and innovations in materials characterization This proposal requests travel support mainly for undergraduate/graduate students, post-docs and junior faculty to attend Symposium F08QQ.Intellectual Merit:The Materials Research Society has a longstanding tradition to provide an international forum where senior researchers from academia and industry and students can exchange and debate new ideas. The list of invited speakers includes several international experts on organic-based photovoltaics and solid state lighting. This symposium provides excellent opportunity to accelerate the progress of energy and sustainability-related scientific research, as well as a great educational opportunity for participating students. The organizers comprise an interdisciplinary international team that is well qualified to prepare and conduct the symposium. All of them are internationally recognized experts with strong track publication records. Funding for this symposium will be used to facilitate participation by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and young faculty through travel support.Broader Impacts:International symposiums are a highly effective means to exchange knowledge and advance science and engineering in an area of national importance. New materials for photovoltaics are expected to promote the diversification of energy resources whereas solid-state lighting will contribute to energy conservation, both goals of national interest.Bringing together researchers with different skills and backgrounds will facilitate knowledge leveraging and dissemination. Senior researchers will serve as role models to junior faculty and students. The 2008 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting will provide excellent educational opportunities for all participants in the form of several tutorials that are free of charge.

2008年材料研究学会秋季会议将于12月1日至5日在马萨诸塞州的波士顿举行。45场专题讨论会将成为会议的技术核心，其中F08QQ有机高分子功能材料的合成与加工与可持续能源经济研讨会。光伏和固态照明是在新的可持续能源经济中设想的技术的例子，因为这些技术将使我们能够使用可再生能源，并更有效地利用现有能源。本次研讨会将讨论新的合成和加工方法来制造有机和功能高分子材料。会议主题包括用于低维和三维材料的有机和功能聚合物的合成，定向组装和印刷的新方法，用于优化光电子能量传递的工程聚合物和材料的合成，用于优化界面能量传递的新结构的合成，用于光电子和光伏的新材料，“绿色”合成和加工方法。本提案主要要求本科生/研究生、博士后和初级教师参加F08QQ研讨会的差旅支持。知识价值：材料研究协会有一个长期的传统，提供一个国际论坛，来自学术界和工业界的高级研究人员和学生可以交流和辩论新的想法。受邀演讲者的名单包括几位有机光伏和固态照明方面的国际专家。本次研讨会为加快能源和可持续发展相关科学研究的进展提供了极好的机会，同时也为与会学生提供了良好的教育机会。组织者组成了一个跨学科的国际团队，他们很有资格准备和举办研讨会。他们都是国际公认的专家，有很强的跟踪出版记录。本次研讨会的经费将用于资助研究生、博士后研究人员和年轻教师参加会议。更广泛的影响：国际研讨会是在国家重要领域交流知识和推进科学与工程的一种非常有效的手段。光伏发电的新材料有望促进能源的多样化，而固态照明将有助于节约能源，这两个目标都符合国家利益。汇集具有不同技能和背景的研究人员将促进知识的利用和传播。高级研究人员将成为初级教师和学生的榜样。2008年材料研究学会秋季会议将以免费教程的形式为所有参与者提供极好的教育机会。
