Travel Support for Student and Speaker Participation at the Fifth International Conference on Self-Healing Materials; Duke University; Durham, North Carolina; June 22-24, 2015

该奖项支持研究生，博士后和年轻的教师在第五届国际会议上自我修复材料（ICSHM），达勒姆，北卡罗来纳州，2015年6月22日至24日的参与。ICSHM是一个两年一度的会议，专注于自修复材料科学，工程和技术应用的进展。会议提供了一个专门侧重于自我修复材料的知识传播论坛，汇集了来自不同社区的代表，他们有着共同的利益和挑战，但不经常混合。这种支持将产生重大影响，鼓励传统上互不相关的科学和工程学科的青年科学家广泛参与。 所有学生和博士后获奖者将出席会议，支持他们的专业发展。 会议组织者将积极从传统上在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体中招募与会者。 ICSHM 2015的范围涵盖了所有类别的自修复材料，包括聚合物，陶瓷，金属和复合材料，而生物灵感则用于指导潜在的未来研究进展。广泛的行业受到该领域的影响和代表，包括航空航天，汽车，运输，微电子，建筑，电子，医药和制造业。 ICSHM 2015将向社区介绍自我修复生物材料和生物医学植入物的新兴领域。扩展可通过自修复策略访问的长度尺度范围是一个新的和新兴的趋势，并且将在自修复长度尺度的极端上举办特别研讨会：大容量方法和真正的分子方法，这些方法解决了单个聚合物子链，界面和晶界水平的损伤。 涵盖以下科学领域：防腐蚀涂料和油漆;生物启发材料;水泥材料;涂料&油漆;纤维增强复合材料;功能应用;材料表征;机械化学;金属材料;微血管系统;建模&数值分析;超分子聚合物;热塑性/热固性塑料;能量收集和储存;自增强凝胶; 3D打印和自愈系统;扩展长度范围;大容量修复;生物材料;高温自愈。

This award supports the participation of graduate students, postdocs, and young faculty presenters at the 5th International Conference on Self-Healing Materials (ICSHM), Durham, North Carolina, June 22-24, 2015. ICSHM is a biennial conference focusing on advances in self-healing materials science, engineering, and technological applications. The conference provides a forum for knowledge dissemination focused solely on self-healing materials, bringing together the representatives from different communities that share interests and challenges, but that would otherwise mix infrequently. This support will have a significant impact by encouraging broad participation of young scientists from traditionally disconnected science and engineering disciplines. All student and postdoctoral recipients will be expected to present at the meeting, supporting their professional development. The conference organizers will actively recruit participants from groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. Active participation is further encouraged by student poster awards.The scope of ICSHM2015 encompasses all classes of self-healing materials including polymers, ceramics, metals, and composites, while bio-inspiration serves to guide potential future research advances. A broad spectrum of industries are impacted and represented by the field including aerospace, automotive, transportation, microelectronics, architecture, electronics, medicine, and manufacturing. ICSHM2015 will introduce the community to the newly emerging field of self-healing biomaterials and biomedical implants. Expanding the range of length scales accessible by self-healing strategies is a new and emerging trend, and special symposia on the extreme ends of self-healing length scales will be featured: large-volume approaches and truly molecular approaches that address damage at the level of individual polymer sub-chains, interfaces, and grain boundaries. The following scientific areas are covered: Anticorrosion coatings and paints; Bio-inspired materials; Cementitious materials; Coatings & paints; Fiber-reinforced composite materials; Functional applications; Materials characterization; Mechanochemistry; Metallic materials; Microvascular systems; Modeling & numerical analysis; Supramolecular polymers; Thermoplastics/thermosets; Energy harvesting and storage; Self-reinforcing gels; 3D printing and self-healing systems; Expanding range of length scales; Large volume repair; Biomaterials; Self-healing at high temperatures.
