Kotov, Nicholas A.CBET - 1138757This project supports the organization of a one-of-a-kind conference on "Supramolecular Chemistry and Chemical Engineering", co-sponsored by Gordon Research Conference fund, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Nico Technologies Corporation, American Chemical Society, and Firmenich, SA to be held on June 19-24, 2011 in Il Ciocco Italy. The funds requested in this project will be used to partially cover the registration fee and travel expenses of scientists and engineers at all levels of careers from graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to assistant, associate professors. Special emphasis is given to the young generation of scientists and engineers. The conference aims at finding new methods of nanoscale engineering of materials, devices, and processes. The conference will assemble top-notch scientists and engineers with many different areas of expertise to look into the problem of how to utilize the phenomena of self-organization for energy efficient manufacturing processes. The participants will attempt to apply classical approaches of thermodynamics and other classical disciplines to the following self-structuring solids: carbon, polymer, metal, semiconductor, and hybrid nanostructures. A large portion of the meeting will be devoted to the use of self-assembly for catalysis and solar energy conversion as well as interfacial and transport phenomena governing catalytic and energy conversion processes. Intellectual Merit:The intellectual merit of the proposal is the vision of self-organization as the foundation of new types of chemical processes in industry. The conference will utilize collective properties and nano/micro/polymer interfaces and particles. Besides the fact that such a transition leads to inherently more energy efficient manufacturing, it will also create a fundamentally new relation between biological and non-biological processes that can potentially open the door to a new branch of chemical engineering. This conference for the first time will attempt to formulate the unified approach to different self-organization processes at different scales.Broader Impact: The broader impact of the meeting will encompass new collaborative activities between the top-notch scientists of the USA and other countries. It will also allow the young researchers to become more integrated in the larger scientific and engineering community and to find their pathway to success. From the educational perspective, the meeting will provide an energetic and stimulating environment for students. They will be introduced to the toughest problems of modern materials science, which require out-of-the-box solutions. The educational impact of the proposal will be enhanced by the possibility for students to interact with both academic and industrial researchers. Integration of underrepresented groups to the fabric of the conference was given special attention.

Kotov，Nicholas A.CBET -1138757该项目支持组织一个关于“超分子化学和化学工程”的独一无二的会议，该会议由戈登研究会议基金、空军科学研究办公室、Nico技术公司、美国化学学会和菲尔梅尼希，SA共同赞助，将于2011年6月19日至24日在意大利的Il Ciocco举行。 本项目申请的资金将部分用于支付从研究生和博士后研究人员到助理、副教授等各级职业的科学家和工程师的注册费和差旅费。 特别重视年轻一代的科学家和工程师。会议旨在寻找材料，设备和工艺的纳米级工程的新方法。 会议将聚集具有许多不同专业领域的顶尖科学家和工程师，探讨如何利用自组织现象实现节能制造过程的问题。 参与者将尝试将热力学和其他经典学科的经典方法应用于以下自结构固体：碳，聚合物，金属，半导体和混合纳米结构。 会议的很大一部分将致力于使用自组装催化和太阳能转换以及界面和运输现象的催化和能量转换过程。 智力价值：该提案的智力价值是自组织作为工业中新型化学过程基础的愿景。 会议将利用集体属性和纳米/微米/聚合物界面和颗粒。 除了这种转变导致本质上更节能的制造之外，它还将在生物和非生物过程之间建立一种全新的关系，这可能会为化学工程的一个新分支打开大门。 这次会议将首次尝试制定不同规模的不同自组织过程的统一方法。更广泛的影响：会议的更广泛的影响将包括美国和其他国家的顶尖科学家之间的新的合作活动。 它还将使年轻的研究人员能够更好地融入更大的科学和工程界，并找到通往成功的道路。从教育的角度来看，会议将为学生提供一个充满活力和激励的环境。他们将了解现代材料科学中最棘手的问题，这些问题需要开箱即用的解决方案。该提案的教育影响将通过学生与学术和工业研究人员互动的可能性得到加强。与会者特别注意将代表人数不足的群体纳入会议结构。
