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.

技术摘要合成和表征具有精确控制的大分子尺寸，功能和组成以及具有明确定义的拓扑结构的新材料是当代聚合物科学的最终目标。多年来，控制自由基聚合过程中的分子结构和功能是非常困难的。然而，最近可控/活性聚合已扩展到自由基体系，这不仅是商业上最重要的，而且由于可聚合单体的可用性，易共聚和不要求的反应条件，具有最大的潜力。因此，乙烯基单体的可控/活性自由基聚合扩展并增强了基础知识。申请支持3名美国助理教授、3名博士后和3名研究生参加2011年8月28-31日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的美国化学会全国会议“可控/活性自由基聚合”专题讨论会。研讨会将涵盖受控/生命系统的最新进展。将重点介绍三种控制自由基聚合的一般方法。这包括氮氧化物和其他有机稳定自由基的使用，金属催化聚合的应用，如原子转移自由基聚合，以及采用链转移和加成-破碎化学的技术，包括杂质。讲座将涵盖具有新型分子结构、功能和组成的材料的机制、合成和表征。研讨会将包括1次辅导课和7次常规会议，约80次讲座和6次海报会议。会议将允许来自不同国家和许多美国学术（包括研究生和博士后）、政府和工业实验室的研究人员交流和传播信息。可控自由基聚合是高分子与材料科学中发展最为迅速的领域之一。它影响了许多先进技术，使生物医学材料、光电子、环境相关领域和其他领域（如涂料、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）取得了前所未有的进步。因此，在2011丹佛研讨会“可控/活性自由基聚合”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，他们的导师以及来自政府和工业实验室的研究人员。与2008年在费城举行的ACS研讨会“受控/活性自由基聚合”一样，PI计划在会议上发表主要演讲的论文集。
