The International Symposium on Ionic Polymerization is a major world gathering on this important topic within the field of polymer chemistry. The next meeting (IP??11) will be in Akron, OH, on July 10-15, 2011. The co-organizers are Professor Judit Puskas (U. of Akron) and Professor Robson Storey (The U. of Southern Mississippi). TECHNICAL ABSTRACT:Ionic polymerizations find critical applications in the fields of synthetic rubber, lubricating oil and fuel additives, resins, tackifiers, and adhesives, engineering plastics, architectural sealants, and more recently, bio-medical polymers. The kinetic and mechanistic understanding of living polymerizations, which has led to an ongoing revolution in polymer synthetic control, was pioneered first in the area of ionic polymerizations. Ionic polymerizations are complex processes due to multiple states of association between the growing ion and its counterion and the strong effect of reaction conditions on the partitioning of the chains among these states. The field of ionic polymerization remains a challenging and fertile area of scientific endeavor. The symposium will explore latest developments across the broad horizon of all types of ionic polymerizations and their resulting materials.NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACT:The International Symposium on Ionic Polymerization provides a critical forum for the exchange of ideas and expertise within this field and helps foster entirely new research directions. Especially critical to this process is the involvement of younger scientists. Therefore, IP??11 will include a special session entitled ?gRising Stars,?h consisting of younger speakers and discussion leaders. This will enhance the positive, broader impact of the symposium on the scientific community as a whole, by promoting the professional and scientific development of our future leaders in this important technical area. Travel awards will be made to a number of these younger scientists using the requested funds.

离子聚合国际研讨会是高分子化学领域内关于这一重要主题的一次重要的世界聚会。下一篇：IP？11)将于2011年7月10日至15日在俄亥俄州阿克伦举行。联合组织者是朱迪特·普斯卡斯教授（美国大学）。和罗布森·斯托里教授（美国大学）。（南密西西比）。技术摘要：离子聚合在合成橡胶、润滑油和燃料添加剂、树脂、增粘剂和粘合剂、工程塑料、建筑密封剂以及最近的生物医学聚合物领域中具有重要的应用。对活性聚合的动力学和机理的理解，导致了聚合物合成控制的持续革命，首先在离子聚合领域开创。离子聚合是一个复杂的过程，这是由于生长中的离子和它的抗衡离子之间存在多种缔合状态，并且反应条件对这些状态之间的链分配有很强的影响。离子聚合领域仍然是一个具有挑战性和丰富的奋进。非技术性摘要：国际离子聚合研讨会为该领域内的思想和专业知识的交流提供了一个重要的论坛，有助于促进全新的研究方向。这一进程的关键是年轻科学家的参与。因此，IP？11将包括一次题为？gRising Stars，？h由较年轻的发言者和讨论带头人组成。这将通过促进我们在这一重要技术领域的未来领导人的专业和科学发展，加强研讨会对整个科学界的积极和广泛影响。将利用所要求的资金向这些年轻科学家中的一些人提供旅费。
