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.

非技术摘要该奖项支持2017年戈登研究会议和戈登研究研讨会“多尺度材料及其新兴应用的理性设计”研讨会，并提供了由凝聚态物理学，凝结物物理学和材料物理学以及固体状态和材料化学计划的材料研究部中的固态和材料化学计划的支持。这次会议已成为美国首要液晶大会，吸引了一群工程师（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，跨越软物质系统中运输和界面现象的研究前沿，超分子化学，凝结物理物理和材料，胶体现象以及微功能，生物材料以及Anisotropic Soft Matter的计算方法和理论。这种主题和跨学科风味的广度为应用问题提供了新颖的创意解决方案，并为基础科学提供了更深入的见解。这种类型的会议培养了跨学科和多学科的思想以及解决复杂和相关问题的方法。此外，该会议将在戈登研究研讨会之前举行，该研讨会为年轻研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，可以分享GRC体验并与同龄人建立非正式的网络。
