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

1002600 DeVincent WolfIntellectual Merit：基于Fluorescent的微纳米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在低雷诺数下的小通道中的流体的特定行为，并且与多个界面接触。利用这种行为的微流体架构正在成为材料操作和合成中的重要新兴工具。这是一个多学科领域，包括化学/化学工程，物理学，生物医学/生物材料和材料科学。为了扩大这一新兴领域，促进来自这些不同学科的研究人员与更大的材料社区之间的互动至关重要。有没有更好的机会来实现这一点比在研讨会KK微和纳米流体系统的材料合成，设备组装和生物分析，将在2010年春季MRS会议举行。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。虽然这次研讨会的主题是以材料为中心，我们计划将相当大的一部分计划用于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，以及微观和纳米级复杂流体流动的物理学。该研讨会非常适合您对多相流现象（颗粒/气泡/液滴动力学），结构化流体（胶体，铁磁流体）以及颗粒到功能设备中的自和定向组装的程序兴趣。我们请求NSF提供部分支持，以支付口头和海报演讲者的部分差旅费和注册费，特别是支持年轻的教师和学生。更广泛的影响：我们相信，能够部分支持差旅费，并支付参加会议的费用将允许更广泛，更具代表性的人群参加和参与研讨会，并最终加强在使用微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小组支持研究生和本科生参加海报会议，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.
