This NSF award by the Chemical and Biological Separations program makes funds available to assist with a symposium entitled New Materials and Concepts for Next Generation Membrane. The symposium will be held at the 2010 International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (i.e., Pacifichem 2010) in Honolulu, HI from Dec. 15-20, 2010. New materials for membranes play an important role in this area because efficient separations of fluids are important for biofuels purification, water remediation, fuel cell operation, etc. The organizers of the New Materials and Concepts for Next Generation Membranes symposium are the PI from the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA; Prof. Kazu Nagai from Meiji University, Japan; and Prof. Normand Voyer from Laval University, Canada. This symposium will focus on new materials design approaches and chemical concepts that potentially could be used to develop unprecedented membranes with new or enhanced separation capabilities. The overall goal of this symposium is to bring together rsearchers who make new functional porous and dense materials but have little membranes experience, with membrane experts at the cutting edge of new membranes development and application. The goal is to have this international forum for sharing new materials ideas and membrane needs/possibilities will catalyze new collaborations and enable development of next generation membranes. The requested NSF funds will be used to cover registration fees for invited speakers, young professors and graduate students. Broader Impacts The abstracts from the symposium will be made accessible via the Internet to the general public as a research and educational tool. The symposium will also serve as an important international platform for allowing young U.S. scientists (i.e., starting professors, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows) to participate in and learn about the exciting opportunities at the intersection of materials chemistry (of all forms) and membrane science and engineering. It is hoped that this Pacifichem 2010 symposium will encourage more young (i.e., the next-generation of) materials chemists in the U.S. and other countries to apply their skills in that direction. The PI plans to have extensive young scientist participation in the talk sessions by choosing young chemists and membrane engineers to give a large portion of the contributed talks. In doing so, new and often revolutionary ideas and concepts in membrane materials and design will be highlighted.

化学和生物分离计划的NSF奖项为下一代膜的新材料和概念研讨会提供资金。该专题讨论会将在2010年太平洋盆地学会国际化学大会上举行（即，Pacificem 2010）在檀香山，HI从2010年12月15-20日。膜的新材料在这一领域发挥着重要作用，因为流体的有效分离对于生物燃料净化、水治理、燃料电池操作等非常重要。下一代膜的新材料和概念研讨会的组织者是美国博尔德市科罗拉多大学的PI、日本明治大学的Kazu永井教授和加拿大拉瓦尔大学的Normand Voyer教授。本次研讨会将重点关注新材料设计方法和化学概念，这些方法和概念可能用于开发具有新的或增强的分离能力的前所未有的膜。本次研讨会的总体目标是将那些制造新型功能多孔和致密材料但几乎没有膜经验的研究人员与处于新膜开发和应用前沿的膜专家聚集在一起。我们的目标是让这个国际论坛分享新材料的想法和膜的需求/可能性，将促进新的合作，使下一代膜的发展。申请的NSF资金将用于支付受邀演讲者、年轻教授和研究生的注册费。研讨会的摘要将通过互联网提供给公众，作为研究和教育工具。研讨会还将作为一个重要的国际平台，让年轻的美国科学家（即，开始教授，研究生和博士后研究员）参与并了解材料化学（所有形式）和膜科学与工程交叉点的令人兴奋的机会。希望这次Pacificem 2010研讨会将鼓励更多的年轻人（即，下一代）材料化学家在美国和其他国家应用他们的技能在这个方向。PI计划通过选择年轻的化学家和膜工程师来提供大部分贡献的演讲，让广泛的年轻科学家参与谈话。在这样做的过程中，膜材料和设计中的新的和往往是革命性的想法和概念将得到强调。
