2020 Symposium "Smart Materials: From Stimuli to Response"; 259th ACS National Meeting; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; 24 March 2020

该奖项为将在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的第259届美国化学会（ACS）全国会议上举行的研究生研讨会提供支持；2020年3月24日。研究生研讨会完全由研究生组织，并在每次ACS全国会议上举行。本次研讨会题为“智能材料：从刺激到响应”，将重点介绍智能材料发现、合成、加工和应用的基础科学。研讨会将实现两个主要目标：提供一个讨论智能材料研究现状的论坛，促进化学和材料科学与工程社区的多样性和包容性。研讨会将包括一系列讲座，由10位具有不同背景的演讲者组成，他们将讨论智能材料的基本原理及其应用，以及演讲者和与会者的网络会议。该奖项支持研究生组织委员会成员、10名演讲者和10名本科生前往费城参加ACS全国会议，优先考虑来自传统上代表性不足和社会经济弱势背景的本科生。智能材料是一种设计用于在暴露于温度或光线等刺激时引发特定反应的材料。这些响应可以针对特定的应用程序进行调优。本次研讨会的与会者将听取杰出演讲者的演讲，他们的研究共同包括基础科学以及智能材料在医学，可再生能源，可穿戴电子产品和其他新兴领域的各种应用。本次研讨会的一个主要目标是促进科学的多样性。组织者汇集了一份多样化的演讲者名单，该奖项将为这些演讲者以及来自传统上代表性不足和社会经济弱势背景的本科生提供旅行支持。本次研讨会将为学生提供与各个职业阶段的科学家互动的机会，从本科生到终身教职员工，旨在为化学和材料科学与工程领域广泛而多样化的研究人员提供指导和支持网络，并增强未来的劳动力。该奖项由材料研究部的横切项目和民用、机械和制造创新部的先进制造项目共同资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support for the Graduate Student Symposium to be held at the 259th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; March 24, 2020. The Graduate Student Symposium is organized entirely by graduate students and is held at each ACS National Meeting. The symposium, titled "Smart Materials: From Stimuli to Response," will highlight the fundamental science enabling smart materials discovery, synthesis, processing and application. The symposium will accomplish two primary objectives: to provide a forum for the discussion of the current state of smart materials research and to promote diversity and inclusion in the Chemical and Materials Science and Engineering communities. The symposium will consist of a series of lectures featuring ten speakers with diverse backgrounds who will discuss the underlying principles of smart materials and their applications, as well as a networking session for speakers and attendees. This award supports travel to the ACS National Meeting in Philadelphia for graduate student organizing committee members, ten speakers, and ten undergraduate students, with priority given to undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Smart materials are materials that were designed to elicit a particular response when exposed to stimuli such as temperature or light. These responses can be tuned for specific applications. Attendees of this symposium will hear from distinguished speakers whose research collectively includes both the foundational science as well as various applications of smart materials in medicine, renewable energy, wearable electronics, and other burgeoning fields. A primary objective of this symposium is the promotion of diversity in science. The organizers have assembled a diverse list of speakers, and this award will provide travel support to these speakers as well as to undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. The symposium will provide the opportunity for students to interact with scientists at all career stages, from fellow undergraduate students to tenured faculty members, with the aim of providing a network of mentorship and support to a broad, diverse pipeline of researchers in Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering and enhancing the future workforce. This award is co-funded by the Division of Materials Research's Crosscutting Program and the Advanced Manufacturing program in the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation.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.
