S10 Symposium KK: Micro- and Nanofluidic Systems for Material Synthesis, Device Assembly and Bio-analysis

1002600DeVincent Wolf 智力优势：基于流体的微米和纳米尺度技术在复杂材料和结构的操纵、分析和合成方面比传统方法具有明显的优势。这些流体技术的关键和多功能性取决于低雷诺数小通道中流体以及与多个界面接触的特定行为。利用这种行为的微流控架构正在成为材料操纵和合成中重要的新兴工具。这是一个多学科领域，涵盖化学/化学工程、物理学、生物医学/生物材料和材料科学的各个方面。为了扩展这个新兴领域，促进这些不同学科的研究人员与更大的材料界之间的互动至关重要。要实现这一目标，最好的机会莫过于将于 2010 年春季 MRS 会议上举行的关于材料合成、设备组装和生物分析的微纳流体系统 KK 研讨会。本次研讨会将汇集来自多个学科的研究人员、学生和工业科学家，分享他们的成果和见解。虽然本次研讨会的主题是以材料为中心，但我们计划将会议的相当一部分投入到液滴和气泡生成的基本方面、流动聚焦的进展、颗粒和胶囊的合成以及微米和纳米尺度的复杂流体流动的物理学。本次研讨会非常适合您对多相流现象（颗粒/气泡/液滴动力学）、结构流体（胶体、铁磁流体）以及颗粒自组装和定向组装到功能器件中的兴趣。我们请求 NSF 提供支持，以支付口头和海报演讲者的部分旅行和注册费用，特别是支持年轻的教师和学生。更广泛的影响：我们相信，能够提供部分旅行支持并支付参加会议的费用，将使更广泛、更具代表性的人群能够出席和参加研讨会，并最终加强在使用微米和纳米微流体系统的材料开发领域的代表性。我们将特别鼓励全国各地的研究团体支持研究生和本科生参与海报会议，以此作为让学生从小接触高水平研究的一种手段，并通过这些手段提高研究的可及性。

1002600DeVincent WolfIntellectual Merit:Fluidic based techniques at the micro and nano scales offer distinct advantages over traditional methods in manipulation, analysis, and synthesis of complex materials and structures. The key and versatility of these fluidic techniques rest on the particular behavior of fluids in small channels at low Reynolds numbers, and in contact with multiple interfaces. Microfluidic architectures that harness this behavior are becoming an important an emerging tool in materials manipulation and synthesis. This is a multi disciplinary field that encompasses aspects of chemistry/chemical engineering, physics, biomedicine/biomaterials and materials science. To expand this emerging field it is critical to foster interaction between researchers from these diverse disciplines and the larger materials community. There is no better opportunity to achieve this than on the Symposium KK on Micro and Nanofluidic Systems for Material Synthesis, Device Assembly, and Bioanalysis that will be held at the Spring 2010 MRS meeting. This symposium will bring together researchers, students, and industrial scientists from multiple disciplines to share their results and insight. While the theme of this symposium is materials centric we plan to devote a considerable portion of the program to fundamental aspects of drops and bubbles generation, advances in flow focusing, synthesis of particles and capsules, and the physics of complex fluidflow at the micro and nanoscale. This symposium fits well with your program interest in multiphase flow phenomena (particle/bubble/droplet dynamics), structured fluids (colloids, ferrofluids), and self and directed assembly of particles into functional devices. We request support from the NSF to partially cover travel and registration costs for oral and poster presenters, with particular emphasis in supporting young faculty and students.Broader Impacts:We believe that being able to partially support travel, and to cover the costs of attending the meeting will allow a wider, more representative population to attend and participate in the symposium and eventually, to strengthen representation in the area of materials development using micro and nano microfluidic systems. We will particularly, encourage research groups across the country to support participation of graduate and undergraduate students in the poster sessions, as a means of exposing students to a high level of research at an early age, and through these means, enhancing accessibility to research.
