Symposium: NMR Spectroscopy of Polymers and Biobased Materials Pacifichem Conference

本提案要求提供5,000美元的资金，以支持年轻的美国科学家出席将于2015年12月15-20日在檀香山举行的“核磁共振(核磁共振)聚合物和生物基材料波谱太平洋会议”。这笔资金将涵盖大约三笔全额学费和四笔学生注册费，以及五笔住房补助金。核磁共振波谱是研究聚合物和生物基聚合物材料(即基于天然材料设计的聚合物)的主要技术。本次国际会议的主要目的是报告核磁共振波谱的最新进展，以及它们在确定聚合物的基本分子和结构特征及其性质以及它们在许多技术应用中的特殊功能方面的影响。本课程将涵盖基础和应用两个方面，包括计划中的八个主题：(1)聚合物动力学、中间相和结晶度。(2)聚合物中的扩散和流动。(3)混合、表面和受限环境。(4)以聚合物为重点的核磁共振仪器和方法的进展。(5)固态聚合物结构。(6)能源领域的聚合物--电池、燃料电池、生物质。(7)溶液相聚合物。(8)核磁共振与其他技术的结合)。讲座的目的是让普通的聚合物科学家能够理解和利用所展示的研究成果。

NON-TECHNICAL AND TECHNICAL ABSTRACTThis proposal requests funding in the amount of $ 5,000 in support of the attendance and participation of young US-based scientists in the "Symposium: NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Spectroscopy of Polymers and Biobased Materials Pacific Conference" to be held in Honolulu HI, December 15-20, 2015. The funds will cover approximately three full, and four student registration fees, as well as five housing grants. NMR spectroscopy is a premier technique for the study of polymers as well as biobased polymeric materials, i.e. polymers designed based on naturally occurring materials. The main purpose of this international conference is to report on the latest developments in NMR spectroscopy and their impact on the determination of the fundamental molecular and structural characteristics of polymers and their properties as well as in their specialized functions in a multitude of technological applications. Both fundamental and applied aspects will be covered is a planned set of eight session topics: (1) Polymer dynamics, interphases and crystallinity. (2) Diffusion and flow in polymers. (3) Blends, surfaces, and confined environments. (4) Polymer-focused advances in NMR instrumentation and methodology. (5) Solid state polymer structure. (6) Polymers in energy fields-batteries, fuel cells, biomass. (7) Polymers in solution phase. (8) Integration of NMR w/other techniques). The talks will be geared so that general polymer scientists can comprehend and exploit the studies presented.
