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，自由基聚合中分子结构和官能度的控制是非常困难的。然而，最近受控/活性聚合已扩展到自由基体系，其不仅在商业上是最重要的，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。该提案要求支持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学会全国会议上的“受控/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。控制自由基聚合的三种一般方法将被强调。这包括使用氮氧自由基和其他有机稳定自由基，应用金属催化聚合如原子转移自由基聚合，以及采用链转移和加成-断裂化学的技术，包括引发剂。讲座内容包括新型分子结构、功能和组成材料的机理、合成和表征.研讨会将包括一个教程和7个定期会议，约80个讲座和6个海报会议。这次会议将允许来自不同国家和许多美国学术界（包括研究生和博士后研究员），政府和工业实验室的研究人员之间交流和传播信息。非技术摘要可控自由基聚合是聚合物和材料科学中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，光电子学，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，在2011年丹佛研讨会期间产生的知识“受控/活性自由基聚合”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计划出版会议记录和会议上的主要演讲。
