非技术和技术摘要：聚合物复合材料和高性能材料研讨会由美国化学学会聚合物化学部组织，将于2019年7月21日至24日在加利福尼亚州罗纳特公园举行。它旨在将来自工业、学术和政府实验室的研究人员聚集在一起，讨论用于能源、生物医学、航空航天、海洋和基础设施应用的聚合物基质科学的最新进展，并确定关键材料开发挑战，以满足这些领域新出现的需求。研讨会的组织是为了促进研究人员之间的互动，日程安排包括特定领域的简短演讲，随后是小组讨论、早晚会谈和海报会议，计划的分组讨论部分，以及自由的下午非正式联网。研讨会将专门针对具有实验、计算和理论背景的研究人员之间的互动，以帮助促进知识和预测，以加快新的高性能材料的实施。NSF的部分支持将使研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师能够参加会议并展示他们的研究海报。教师和研究生学员将了解当前聚合物基质科学的研究进展和新兴材料需求，以支持我国的安全和健康，并将有助于发展广泛的专业互动。聚合物复合材料和高性能材料研讨会满足了在这一重要领域举行集中会议的需要，该领域涉及广泛应用的技术材料，并将汇集来自学术界、政府和行业的研究人员。研讨会预计将促进与会者之间的互动和可持续合作。研讨会上发表的精选论文将发表在美国计算机学会应用材料与接口杂志上。此外，研讨会成果的总结将公布在美国国家科学院保利网站上。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NON-TECHNICAL AND TECHNICAL SUMMARY:The Polymer Composites and High Performance Materials Workshop is organized through the Polymer Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society and will take place July 21-24, 2019 in Rohnert Park, California. It seeks to bring together researchers from industrial, academic and government laboratories to discuss the state-of-the-art in polymer matrix science for energy, biomedical, aerospace, marine and infrastructure applications, and to define key materials development challenges to meet the needs of emerging requirements in these sectors.The workshop is organized to facilitate interaction among researchers, with a schedule consisting of short talks in specific areas followed by panel discussions, morning and evening talks and poster sessions, planned break-out discussion sections, and free afternoons for informal networking. The workshop will specifically target interactions among researchers with experimental, computational, and theoretical backgrounds to help advance knowledge and prediction to accelerate implementation of new high performance materials. The NSF partial support will enable graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty to attend the conference and present posters of their research. The faculty and graduate student participants will gain perspective of current research advances in polymer matrix science and emerging material needs to support the safety and health of our nation, and will help develop broad professional interactions.The workshop on Polymer Composites and High Performance Materials fulfills a need for a focused conference in this important area involving technological materials that are widely used in varied applications and will bring together researchers from academia, government and industry. The workshop is expected to catalyze interactions and sustainable collaborations between the participants. Selected papers presented at the workshop will be published in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. In addition, a summary of the workshop outcomes will be published on the ACS POLY website..This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
