This proposal seeks funds for a travel grant program that will provide support for researchers to attend the Gordon Research Conference Membranes: Materials and Processes to be held July 25-30, 2010, Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH. This Gordon Conference will provide an opportunity for graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, academicians, and industrial and national laboratory researchers to congregate and discuss cutting edge technology and current research trends and to share mutual experiences while building informal networks with peers that may lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement. Over the past 10-15 years, there has been tremendous activity and interest in membrane science and technology, driven largely by advances in our ability to control and analyze complex structures at the nanoscale. Additionally, critical societal needs in the areas of energy, water, bioprocessing, and the environment are providing exciting new opportunities for membrane technologies. These include the development of new membrane for hydrogen/oxygen, direct methanol, and alkaline fuel cells, membrane separations for the purification of ethanol produced from cellulosic biomass, and membrane systems for carbon dioxide removal from gas streams. The Gordon Research Conference on membranes will have specific sessions on contemporary topics dealing with energy production and storage, membrane technologies for energy efficiency, nanomanufacturing, and membranes for water purification. The discussions between the speakers and audience will provide valuable feedback on current research efforts and will enable the participants to further develop and refine new ideas for their own research and/or to initiate new membrane projects. Gordon Research Conferences provide a setting where researchers can present their most recent and, at times, most controversial results. The conferences also foster informal discussions and networking that occur outside of the formal lecture sessions. Such interactions promote the generation of new ideas and new collaborations that assist in moving forward the field of membrane science.

该提案旨在为旅行补助金计划提供资金，该计划将为研究人员参加2010年7月25日至30日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦科尔比索耶学院举行的戈登研究会议膜：材料和工艺提供支持。本次戈登会议将为研究生，博士后学者，院士以及工业和国家实验室研究人员提供一个机会，聚集和讨论前沿技术和当前的研究趋势，并分享相互的经验，同时与同行建立非正式网络，可能会导致终身的合作和科学成就。在过去的10-15年里，膜科学和技术已经有了巨大的活动和兴趣，主要是由我们在纳米级控制和分析复杂结构的能力的进步所驱动。此外，能源、水、生物加工和环境领域的关键社会需求为膜技术提供了令人兴奋的新机遇。这些包括用于氢/氧、直接甲醇和碱性燃料电池的新膜的开发，用于从纤维素生物质生产的乙醇的纯化的膜分离，以及用于从气体流中去除二氧化碳的膜系统。戈登膜研究会议将有关于当代主题的具体会议，涉及能源生产和储存，能效膜技术，纳米制造和水净化膜。演讲者和观众之间的讨论将为当前的研究工作提供有价值的反馈，并使参与者能够进一步发展和完善自己的研究和/或启动新的膜项目的新想法。戈登研究会议提供了一个环境，研究人员可以提出他们最新的，有时，最有争议的结果。会议还促进了非正式的讨论和网络，发生在正式讲座之外。这种相互作用促进了新思想和新合作的产生，有助于推动膜科学领域的发展。
