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

知识优势：在微观和纳米尺度上，流体技术在复杂材料和结构的操作、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通用性取决于流体在低雷诺数和与多个界面接触的小通道中的特殊行为。利用这种行为的微流控结构正在成为材料操纵和合成的重要新兴工具。这是一个涵盖化学/化学工程、物理、生物医学/生物材料和材料科学的多学科领域。为了扩展这一新兴领域，促进来自这些不同学科和更大的材料社区的研究人员之间的互动至关重要。没有比在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米流体系统的研讨会KK更好的机会了。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的，但我们计划将相当一部分计划用于液滴和气泡产生的基本方面，流动聚焦的进展，颗粒和胶囊的合成，以及微观和纳米尺度上复杂流体流动的物理学。本次研讨会非常符合您对多相流现象（粒子/气泡/液滴动力学），结构流体（胶体，铁磁流体）以及粒子自定向组装成功能器件的项目兴趣。我们要求NSF提供部分旅费和口头和海报演讲者的注册费，特别强调对年轻教师和学生的支持。更广泛的影响：我们相信，能够部分支持旅行，并支付参加会议的费用，将允许更广泛，更有代表性的人群参加和参与研讨会，并最终加强在使用微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小组支持研究生和本科生参与海报会议，作为让学生在早期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.
