项目摘要

NON-TECHNICAL AND TECHNICAL SUMMARY:This new Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is focused on the emerging area of complex active and adaptive material systems and is being supported by the Biomaterials and Polymers Programs of the NSF Division of Materials Research. It will serve an important role in pinpointing critical research areas in this broad, interdisciplinary topic and helping guide new scientific efforts. Areas to be explored include adaptive materials that are capable of sensing, actuation, energy harvesting, locomotion, self-repair, and self-organization. The need to manipulate the dynamic behavior of energy-consuming elements related to biomimetic systems will necessitate new advances in both modeling and synthetic efforts. Outcomes of this GRC would involve a whole-systems approach to creating materials/devices that perform useful functions by consuming or transducing energy. The meeting could help formulate design rules for the next generation of energy-efficient devices that operate in a self-sustained manner. It will also bring together a broadly diverse group that includes young researchers at the beginning of their careers as well as more experienced and senior participants. Interactions among these groups could have a lasting influence on the careers of new scientists. Postdoctoral researchers and graduate students will be encouraged to present posters to promote extensive discussions and scientific interactions.

非技术和技术摘要：这次新的戈登研究会议（GRC）着重于复杂的主动和适应性材料系统的新兴领域，并得到了NSF材料研究部的生物材料和聚合物计划的支持。它将在确定这个广泛的跨学科主题中的关键研究领域中发挥重要作用，并帮助指导新的科学努力。要探索的区域包括能够感测，驱动，能量收集，运动，自我修复和自组织的自适应材料。操纵与仿生系统有关的能量耗尽元素的动态行为的需求将需要在建模和合成工作中取得新的进步。该GRC的结果将涉及全系统方法来创建通过消耗或传输能量来执行有用功能的材料/设备。会议可以帮助制定以自我维持方式运行的下一代节能设备的设计规则。它还将汇集一个广泛的团体，其中包括年轻的研究人员在职业生涯的开始以及经验丰富和高级参与者。这些群体之间的互动可能会对新科学家的职业产生持久的影响。博士后研究人员和研究生将被鼓励介绍海报，以促进广泛的讨论和科学互动。
