NON TECHNICAL AND TECHNICAL ABSTRACTFunds in the amount of $8,000 are recommended in partial support of the travel expenses and registration of ten underrepresented group scientists and junior faculty to attend the Pacific Polymer Conference (PPC)14, sponsored by the American Chemical Society?s Polymer Chemistry Division, to be held on 9-13 December 2015 in Kauai, Hawaii. The conference is the product of the Pacific Polymer Federation (PPF) which is a regional organization of individual polymer societies from around the Pacific Rim and Pacific islands currently numbering seventeen member societies from fourteen countries. The objective of the PPCs, which are held every two years and rotate among member societies, is to bring together polymer scientists from the Pacific region to discuss and exchange recent advances in polymer science, polymer technology, and the application of polymers. The last conference in the series organized by a US society was held in 2005. The planned conference which is scientifically and technologically comprehensive, is organized into six main sessions, each encompassing two or more subsessions. The main sessions are: (1) POLYMER SYNTHETIC CHEMISTRY. (2) BIO-RELATED POLYMERS. (3) POLYMER PHYSICS and PROCESSING. (4) ENERGY. (5) ENVIRONMENT. (6) SPECIAL TOPICS. The proposal includes a running list of expert invited speakers for each session. The conference offers the opportunity for the development of closer ties among Pacific Rim polymer groups and individual scientists, to mutual benefit.

非技术和技术摘要 建议提供 8,000 美元的资金，用于部分支持 10 名代表性不足的团体科学家和初级教员参加太平洋聚合物会议 (PPC)14 的旅费和注册费用，该会议由美国化学会聚合物化学部主办，将于 2015 年 12 月 9-13 日在夏威夷考艾岛举行。该会议是太平洋聚合物联盟 (PPF) 的产物，该联盟是环太平洋地区和太平洋岛屿各个聚合物协会的区域组织，目前有来自 14 个国家的 17 个成员协会。 PPC每两年举行一次，并在会员学会之间轮流举行，其目的是将太平洋地区的聚合物科学家聚集在一起，讨论和交流聚合物科学、聚合物技术和聚合物应用的最新进展。美国学会组织的该系列会议的最后一次会议于2005年举行。计划的会议在科学和技术上是全面的，分为六个主要会议，每个会议包含两个或多个分会议。主要分会场为：（一）高分子合成化学。 (2)生物相关聚合物。 (3) 聚合物物理和加工。 （4）能源。 （5）环境。 （6）专题。该提案包括每场会议邀请的专家演讲嘉宾名单。此次会议为环太平洋聚合物团体和科学家个人之间发展更紧密的联系提供了机会，以实现互惠互利。
