TECHNICAL AND NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACTThe 44th International Symposium on Macromolecules (MACRO 2012) ? IUPAC World Polymer Congress: Enabling Technologies for a Safe, Sustainable, and Healthy World, co-supported by the NSF Divisions of Materials Research and Chemistry, will provide an international forum for leading scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and government to discuss multidisciplinary technologies that bridge emerging boundaries of macromolecular science and engineering. This prestigious conference rotates biannually around the globe; previous USA conferences were held at the University of Akron (1994) and UMass-Amherst (1982). The 2012 MACRO World Polymer Congress is envisioned as an integrated scientific and educational forum for the most recent advances in polymer science and engineering, and the meeting subtitle focuses experts in diverse fields to address technologies of national importance over a range of disciplines. Such an international and interdisciplinary forum will facilitate collaborations and mutual understanding necessary to catalyze breakthrough polymer-based material solutions from the molecular to the device level. The objectives of the 2012 MACRO World Polymer Congress include (1) dissemination of the most recent advances in polymer science and engineering, (2) education across multiple disciplines, (3) cultivation of collaborations across diverse disciplines, and (4) formation of international professional networks. The Congress will consist of eleven symposia on: Recent Developments in Synthesis, Modern Methods in Characterization, Complex Macromolecular Systems, Surfaces and Interfaces, Macromolecules and Nanotechnology, Macromolecules in Biotechnology and Medicine, Energy, Optics, and Optoelectronics, Sustainability Science and Engineering, Commercial Frontiers, Advances in Interdisciplinary Interactions, and Polymer Physics. Poster sessions in concert with instrument exhibitors will provide additional non-invited contributions with an emphasis on presentations from graduate students.The symposium topics are relevant to the scientific community in the USA. Each symposium will include a discussion leader from a US university or company, one or more international co-chair(s), and 30 invited research lectures in the discipline. Each symposium will also welcome contributed lectures (approximately 30 each, totally 60) and contributed posters (4 sessions with 150 posters approximately in total). Invited speakers are recognized as leaders in their fields and will deliver focused lectures with broad scientific appeal. Special attention was devoted to the development of a diverse program including under-represented groups, leading universities from across the nation, international participation, and demonstrated innovation across disciplines. Two morning plenary lectures will convene the entire conference registrants for perspectives on themes of global importance (11 plenary speakers in total including 2 Nobel Laureates).

第44届国际大分子学术研讨会（MACRO 2012） ？IUPAC世界聚合物大会：安全、可持续和健康世界的技术支持，由美国国家科学基金会材料研究和化学部门共同支持，将为来自学术界、工业界和政府的领先科学家和工程师提供一个国际论坛，讨论跨越大分子科学和工程新兴边界的多学科技术。这个享有盛誉的会议每两年在全球举行一次；以前的美国会议分别在阿克伦大学（1994年）和马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校（1982年）举行。2012年MACRO世界聚合物大会被设想为聚合物科学和工程最新进展的综合科学和教育论坛，会议副标题集中了不同领域的专家，以解决一系列学科的国家重要性技术。这样一个国际和跨学科的论坛将促进必要的合作和相互理解，以催化从分子到设备水平的突破性聚合物基材料解决方案。2012年MACRO世界高分子大会的目标包括(1)传播高分子科学与工程的最新进展，(2)跨学科的教育，(3)培养跨学科的合作，(4)形成国际专业网络。大会将由11个专题讨论会组成：合成的最新发展，表征的现代方法，复杂大分子系统，表面和界面，大分子和纳米技术，生物技术和医学中的大分子，能源，光学和光电子学，可持续性科学与工程，商业前沿，跨学科相互作用的进展，以及聚合物物理学。与乐器参展商一起举办的海报会议将提供额外的非邀请贡献，重点是研究生的演讲。研讨会的主题与美国科学界有关。每个研讨会将包括一位来自美国大学或公司的讨论负责人，一位或多位国际联合主席，以及30位该学科的受邀研究讲座。每次研讨会还将欢迎投稿演讲（每次约30次，共60次）和投稿海报（4次，共约150张海报）。特邀讲者被公认为各自领域的领导者，并将提供具有广泛科学吸引力的重点讲座。特别关注的是多元化项目的发展，包括代表性不足的群体、来自全国各地的顶尖大学、国际参与以及跨学科的创新。两个上午的全体讲座将召集全体会议注册人就全球重要主题发表看法（共有11位全体演讲嘉宾，其中包括2位诺贝尔奖获得者）。
