Conference Support for "Fourth International Conference on Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications.(EPD-2011) Oct 2-7, 2011 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

1133640 PI：第四届电泳沉积国际会议：基础与应用（EPD-2011）将于2011年10月2日至7日在墨西哥的瓦拉尔塔港举行。这次国际会议将涉及来自研究界的各个部门，包括学术界，工业界和联邦政府机构的参与者。EPD 2011为围绕电泳沉积（EPD）及其相关科学和技术的进步进行展示和交流提供了丰富的氛围。这笔赠款将帮助支持年轻的，新兴的科学家和著名的研究人员从美国到EPD-2011的旅行，在此期间，将进行材料制造，先进技术和使用电泳沉积的创新的探索和讨论。来自美国的科学家越来越多地参与这一迅速发展的科学和工程领域，对于传播有关该领域的信息以及随后在美国培养具有国际竞争力的劳动力至关重要。EPD 2011是在2002年、2005年和2008年成功举办的系列会议的基础上举办的。这些三年一度的电泳沉积（EPD）会议是学术界和工业界专家研究EPD及其作为传统和新型（纳米）材料制造加工技术应用的领先场所。EPD-2011将解决该领域的前沿课题，如纳米结构材料，生物材料和固体氧化物燃料电池。EPD-2011将产生以下更广泛的影响：I.在物理学，电动力学，材料科学，化学和制造领域的交叉点知识的进步。为年轻学者提供一个与经验丰富的研究专业人员互动的论坛。发展国际研究伙伴关系，应对可持续发展的技术挑战。在这个迅速兴起的科学和工程领域，在初级教师、早期职业科学家和更成熟的知名学者，特别是来自代表性不足的群体的学者之间建立和发展新的伙伴关系。

1133640PI: DickersonThe Fourth International Conference on Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications (EPD-2011) will be held October 2-7, 2011 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This international meeting will involve participants from various sectors of the research community including academia, industry, and federal government agencies. EPD 2011 offers a rich atmosphere for the presentation and exchange of ideas centered on the advancement of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and its associated science and technology. This grant will help support the travel of young, emerging scientists and established eminent researchers from the United States to EPD-2011, during which explorations and discussions of materials fabrication, advanced techniques, and innovations using electrophoretic deposition will be conducted. The increased participation of scientists from the United States in this rapidly developing area of science and engineering is crucial to the dissemination of information about the field and the subsequent, eventual training of an internationally competitive workforce in the US. EPD 2011 follows from the success of the previous conferences of the series held in 2002, 2005 and 2008. These tri-annual Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) conferences are a leading venue for experts from academia and industry working on EPD and its application as a processing technique for fabrication of both traditional and new (nano-) materials. EPD-2011 will tackle topics at the forefront of the field such as nanostructured materials, biomaterials, and solid oxide fuel cells. EPD-2011 will result in the following broader impacts:I. The advancement of knowledge at the intersection of the fields of physics, electrokinetics,materials science, chemistry, and manufacturing.II. Providing a forum for young scholars to interact with seasoned research professionals.III. Developing international research partnerships that address technical challenges of EPD.IV. Introduce and develop new partnerships among groups of junior faculty, early career scientists, and more established, eminent scholars, particularly those from underrepresented groups, in this rapidly emerging area of science and engineering.
