Non-Technical Abstract This award supports the 2017 Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on "Rational Design of Multi-Scale Materials and Their Emerging Applications" with support provided by the Condensed Matter Physics, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, and Solid State and Materials Chemistry Programs in the Division of Materials Research. This conference has grown to be the premier US conference on Liquid Crystals and attracts a broad group of engineers (including chemical engineers), chemists, physicists, life scientists, materials scientists, and mathematicians. Liquid crystal science is truly interdisciplinary and spans research frontiers in transport and interfacial phenomena in soft matter systems, supramolecular chemistry, condensed matter physics and materials, colloidal phenomena and microfluidics, biomaterials, as well as computational methods and theories of anisotropic soft matter. This breadth of topics and interdisciplinary flavor generates novel, creative solutions to applied problems as well as bringing deeper insight into fundamental science. A conference of this type breeds inter- and multi-disciplinary ideas and approaches to complex and relevant problems. In addition, this conference will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar that provides a unique opportunity for young researchers to share in the GRC experience and build informal networks with their peers.

该奖项支持2017年戈登研究会议和戈登研究研讨会“多尺度材料的合理设计及其新兴应用”，并由材料研究部的凝聚态物理，凝聚态物质和材料物理以及固态和材料化学计划提供支持。该会议已发展成为美国首屈一指的液晶会议，吸引了广泛的工程师（包括化学工程师），化学家，物理学家，生命科学家，材料科学家和数学家。液晶科学是真正的跨学科，跨越了软物质系统中的传输和界面现象，超分子化学，凝聚态物理和材料，胶体现象和微流体，生物材料以及各向异性软物质的计算方法和理论的研究前沿。这种广泛的主题和跨学科的味道产生了新颖的，创造性的解决方案，应用问题，以及带来更深入的洞察基础科学。这类会议产生了跨学科和多学科的想法和办法，以解决复杂和相关的问题。此外，本次会议之前将举行戈登研究研讨会，为年轻研究人员提供一个独特的机会，分享GRC的经验，并与同行建立非正式网络。
