The broad topic of polymer physics impacts every industrial sector from electronics to transportation to medicine to textiles to energy generation and storage. Similarly, there is a breadth of cutting edge topics in polymers from new understanding in polymer crystallization to energy conversion and transmission to mechanical properties of soft gels to simulating polymer dynamics at the nanoscale. This Polymer Physics GRC will be designed both to extend the wellestablished topics in the field and to introduce the community to less familiar and overlooked topics, such as mechanical properties and electroactive polymers. Speakers will include past participants of this GRC and also bring in leaders from related fields. The conference will feature 22 invited lectures, wherein the opening 10 minutes are specifically designed for a general polymer physics audience.This conference seeks, as do all GRC's, to gather leading people in the field and to bring them into extended contact with one other and with younger researchers (specifically, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers). Extended discussions in both formal and informal settings over many days are accomplished by the retreat-like atmosphere of the GRC format that is known to build and nurture lifelong friendships and to ignite new collaborations. In addition to the scientific content of these discussions, it is also an opportunity for mentoring. I have set specific diversity objectives for the speakers and discussion leaders with respect to career stage, gender, and geography. To integrate the new and returning conferees, a speakers' table will be established where speakers will dine with junior scientists and a variety of afternoon and social activities will be organized to encourage mingling.

聚合物物理的广泛主题影响着从电子到运输到医药到纺织到能源生产和储存的每个工业部门。同样，在聚合物中也有广泛的前沿课题，从对聚合物结晶的新认识到能量转换和传输，到软凝胶的机械性能，再到在纳米级模拟聚合物动力学。这个聚合物物理学GRC将被设计为扩展该领域的既定主题，并向社区介绍不太熟悉和忽视的主题，如机械性能和电活性聚合物。演讲者将包括本GRC的过去参与者，并带来相关领域的领导者。本次会议将邀请22位演讲嘉宾，其中开场10分钟是专门为普通高分子物理观众设计的。本次会议与所有GRC一样，旨在聚集该领域的领先人士，并使他们与其他年轻研究人员（特别是研究生和博士后研究人员）进行广泛的接触。在正式和非正式的环境中进行了许多天的扩展讨论，通过GRC格式的务虚会般的气氛来完成，众所周知，这种气氛可以建立和培养终身友谊，并点燃新的合作。除了这些讨论的科学内容，它也是一个指导的机会。我已经为演讲者和讨论领导者设定了关于职业阶段，性别和地理的具体多样性目标。 为了使新的和返回的与会者融合在一起，将设立一个发言者桌，发言者将与年轻的科学家共进晚餐，并将组织各种下午和社交活动，以鼓励交流。
