Non-Technical: This award by the Biomaterials program in the Division of Materials Research to University of Georgia is to support students and faculty members to attend the conference titled "State-of-the art conference: Magnetically stimulated soft materials" in Athens, Georgia. This award is cofunded by the Particulate and Multiphase Program (ENG/CBET). The focus of this two-day symposium is on biomaterials that combine two or more functionalities when at least one of them is sensitive to remotely generated magnetic signals that trigger changes. The symposium builds upon earlier successful conferences. This conference is expected to provide the mechanism for the exchange of ideas and the generation of new approaches and technologies in such areas as smart biomaterials, fibers and textiles, microactuators, sensors, drug delivery systems, and biomedical materials and devices. The broader impact goal of this proposal is to increase the participation of students and underrepresented minority students in science and engineering areas. The conference format will provide students with various opportunities to attend state-of-art lectures by top scientists and meet with them, communicate and present their results, and participate in discussions in the conference rooms, during poster sessions, and conference breaks.Technical: This conference aims at binding a number of recently opened possibilities to generate functional biomaterials that combine two or more functionalities when at least one of them is sensitive to remotely generated magnetic signals that trigger changes and responses in soft biomaterials. Remotely controlled materials promise a number of applications, specifically at the microscopic scale. Homogeneous external fields provide energy sources that are sufficient to overcome thermal fluctuations and align building blocks in a broad range of dimensions from a few nanometers to micrometers. Since this field would greatly benefit from multidisciplinary interactions from chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers, the main goal of this conference would be to create a technical and professional environment in which participants from diverse disciplines could interact. This conference is designed to discuss recent trends and activities related to magnetically activated soft materials and initiation of future collaborations among the attendees. These soft materials are unique materials, properties of which could be controlled, transported and imaged using external fields. The following specific topic areas will be highlighted at this conference: a) spintronics; b) ferrofluids and microfluidics; c) polymer and polymeric composite systems and devices; d) self-assembly, nanomanufacturing and microstructures; e) biomedical applications and drug delivery; and f) career and professional development opportunities for students.

非技术：该奖项由格鲁吉亚大学材料研究部的生物材料项目颁发，旨在支持学生和教职员工参加在格鲁吉亚雅典举行的题为“最先进的会议：磁刺激软材料”的会议。该奖项由颗粒和多相计划（ENG/CBET）共同资助。这个为期两天的研讨会的重点是生物材料，结合联合收割机两个或两个以上的功能时，至少有一个是敏感的远程产生的磁信号，触发变化。本次研讨会是在以往成功会议的基础上举办的。预计这次会议将提供交流思想和在智能生物材料，纤维和纺织品，微致动器，传感器，药物输送系统和生物医学材料和设备等领域产生新方法和技术的机制。这项提案的更广泛影响目标是增加学生和代表性不足的少数民族学生在科学和工程领域的参与。会议形式将为学生提供各种机会，参加顶级科学家的最先进的讲座，并与他们会面，交流和展示他们的成果，并在会议室，海报会议和会议休息期间参与讨论。技术：本次会议的目的是结合一些最近开放的可能性，以产生功能性生物材料，联合收割机结合两个或两个以上的功能时，至少有一个它们中的一种对远程产生的磁信号敏感，这些信号触发软生物材料的变化和反应。遥控材料有许多应用前景，特别是在微观尺度上。均匀的外部场提供了足以克服热波动并在从几纳米到微米的广泛尺寸范围内对齐构建块的能量源。由于这一领域将大大受益于化学家，生物学家，物理学家和工程师的多学科互动，本次会议的主要目标将是创造一个技术和专业环境，来自不同学科的参与者可以互动。本次会议旨在讨论与磁激活软材料相关的最新趋势和活动，并启动与会者之间的未来合作。这些软材料是独特的材料，其性质可以使用外场来控制、传输和成像。本次会议将重点讨论以下特定主题领域：a）自旋电子学; B）铁磁流体和微流体; c）聚合物和聚合物复合材料系统和设备; d）自组装，纳米制造和微观结构; e）生物医学应用和药物输送; f）学生的职业和专业发展机会。
