TECHNICAL ABSTRACTSynthesis and characterization of new materials with precisely controlled macromolecular dimensions, functionalities and composition as well as with well-defined topologies is the ultimate goal of contemporary polymer science. For many years control of molecular architecture and functionalities in radical polymerization was very difficult. However, recently controlled/living polymerizations have been extended to radical systems which are not only commercially the most important but also have the largest potential due to availability of polymerizable monomers, facile copolymerization and undemanding reaction conditions. Therefore, controlled/living radical polymerization of vinyl monomers expands and enhances fundamental knowledge. This proposal requests support for 3 US assistant professors, 3 postdoctoral fellows and 3 graduate students to participate in the Symposium on "Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization" at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Denver, CO, August 28-31, 2011. The Symposium will cover recent advances in controlled/living systems. Three general approaches to controlled radical polymerization will be highlighted. This includes use of nitroxides and other organic stable radicals, application of metal catalyzed polymerization such as atom transfer radical polymerization, and techniques employing chain transfer and addition-fragmentation chemistry, including inifers. The lectures will cover mechanisms, synthesis and characterization of materials with novel molecular architectures, functionalitiesand composition. The symposium will include one tutorial and 7 regular sessions with approximately eighty lectures and 6 poster sessions. The meeting will allow to exchange and disseminate information among researchers from various countries and many US academic (including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows), governmental and industrial laboratories.NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACTControlled radical polymerization is among the most rapidly developing areas of polymer and materials science. It impacts many advanced technologies enabling unprecedented advances in biomedical materials, optoelectronics, environmentally related areas and other areas such as coatings, lubricants, adhesives, additives, surfactants, dispersants and health and beauty products. Thus, knowledge generated during the 2011 Denver Symposium on "Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization" will benefit many participants, including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, their advisors as well researchers from governmental and industrial laboratories. As in the case of the previous 2008 ACS Symposium on "Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization" held in Philadelphia, the PI plans to publish proceedings with the major lectures presented at the meeting.

技术摘要具有精确控制的大分子尺寸、功能和组成以及明确的拓扑结构的新材料的合成和表征是当代聚合物科学的最终目标。多年来，控制自由基聚合中的分子结构和功能非常困难。然而，最近受控/活性聚合已扩展到自由基体系，自由基体系不仅在商业上最重要，而且由于可聚合单体的可用性、容易的共聚和不苛刻的反应条件而具有最大的潜力。因此，乙烯基单体的受控/活性自由基聚合扩展并增强了基础知识。该提案请求支持 3 名美国助理教授、3 名博士后研究员和 3 名研究生参加 2011 年 8 月 28 日至 31 日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的美国化学会全国会议上的“受控/活性自由基聚合”研讨会。该研讨会将涵盖受控/活性系统的最新进展。将重点介绍受控自由基聚合的三种通用方法。这包括硝基氧和其他有机稳定自由基的使用、金属催化聚合（例如原子转移自由基聚合）的应用以及采用链转移和加成断裂化学（包括引发剂）的技术。讲座将涵盖具有新颖分子结构、功能和组成的材料的机制、合成和表征。研讨会将包括 1 场教程和 7 场常规会议，其中约 80 场讲座和 6 场海报会议。这次会议将使来自各国的研究人员和许多美国学者（包括研究生和博士后研究员）、政府和工业实验室之间交流和传播信息。非技术摘要受控自由基聚合是聚合物和材料科学发展最快的领域之一。它影响了许多先进技术，使生物医学材料、光电子、环境相关领域以及涂料、润滑剂、粘合剂、添加剂、表面活性剂、分散剂以及健康和美容产品等其他领域取得了前所未有的进步。因此，2011 年丹佛“受控/活性自由基聚合”研讨会期间产生的知识将使许多参与者受益，包括本科生和研究生、博士后研究员、他们的顾问以及来自政府和工业实验室的研究人员。与 2008 年 ACS 在费城举行的“受控/活性自由基聚合”研讨会一样，PI 计划出版会议上主要演讲的会议记录。
