A workshop will be convened on Life Performance of Polymer based Engineering Materials (LPPEM): The Interaction between Mechanics and Chemistry. Polymers are currently used in a large number of engineering applications, where failure of the polymer based materials can have significant consequences. The time dependent properties of the polymer is typically the critical aspect in these advanced engineering applications. The interplay between chemistry and mechanics is a key challenge in predicting the life performance of these materials. The objective of the LPPEM workshop is bringing together researchers from the mechanics and chemistry communities to identify the needs and knowledge gaps required to advance the methodologies in both experimental and computational fronts. Bringing these often disparate disciplines together will be intellectually challenging and should stimulate the development of new research ideas and approaches at the domain interfaces: ideas and approaches that may also have value inside the individual research domains. The development of improved, rational and robust methods for predicting the life performance of polymers and polymers composites will have important benefits for the US technical infrastructure, including both (i) improved utilization of existing materials in new applications and (ii) effective design and more rapid deployment of new materials. By elucidating research challenges and opportunities, the LPPEM workshop will begin the process of identifying potential approaches for the more rapid development, deployment and validation of the life performance of polymeric materials that are increasingly important for advanced engineering applications in the 21st century.

将召开一个关于聚合物基工程材料（LPPEM）的寿命性能的研讨会：力学和化学之间的相互作用。 聚合物目前用于大量的工程应用中，其中聚合物基材料的失效可能具有显著的后果。 聚合物的时间依赖性通常是这些先进工程应用中的关键方面。 化学和力学之间的相互作用是预测这些材料寿命性能的关键挑战。 LPPEM研讨会的目标是将力学和化学界的研究人员聚集在一起，以确定在实验和计算方面推进方法所需的需求和知识差距。将这些通常不同的学科结合在一起将是智力上的挑战，并应刺激新的研究思路和方法在领域接口的发展：想法和方法，也可能有价值的个别研究领域。开发用于预测聚合物和聚合物复合材料的寿命性能的改进的、合理的和稳健的方法将对美国的技术基础设施具有重要的益处，包括（i）改进现有材料在新应用中的利用，以及（ii）有效设计和更快速地部署新材料。 通过阐明研究的挑战和机遇，LPPEM研讨会将开始的过程中，确定潜在的方法，更快速的开发，部署和验证的寿命性能的聚合物材料，越来越重要的先进工程应用在21世纪。
