Tailored Interphases for High-Strength and Functional Composites - Advances in Experiments, Simulations and AI-Based Designs

该项目将支持2020年4月13日至17日在凤凰城会议中心举行的材料研究会(MRS)2020年春季会议上的CT04研讨会：“高强度和功能复合材料的定制界面--实验、模拟和基于人工智能的设计的进展”。研讨会将汇集世界上许多领先的复合材料研究专家-S，该研究在国防、航空航天和商业交通技术方面有应用。该项目还支持MRS作为世界上最重要的材料研究国际科学会议的使命，展示基础和应用领域的领先跨学科研究。研讨会组织者是一个由来自世界许多国家的学术界和工业界的200名科学家组成的团队的一部分，他们负责协调MRS会议和技术规划。研讨会将汇集顶尖科学家、初级科学家和来自跨学科研究社区的与会者，以促进在复合材料和数据驱动的复合材料设计领域的思想交流和新的合作。该项目的目的是为参加研讨会的受邀演讲者、学生和职业早期研究人员支付旅费。资金将专门用于残疾人、代表人数不足的少数群体和妇女的受邀演讲者和捐款演讲者。该项目还将支持年轻的、多样化的美国研究人员，如助理教授和其他工作部门同等职位的研究人员、博士后学者和学生。将努力招聘少数族裔演讲人，并广泛参与各相关学科的工作。研讨会旨在更好地将与结构和功能复合材料相关的不同研究领域的科学家和工程师联系起来，如物理、材料科学、化学、工程、生物工程和数据科学，以促进交通、飞行器和航空航天技术的尖端研究工具和设计材料。具体地说，研讨会将涵盖的研究领域包括聚合物、生物聚合物和胶体在陶瓷和矿物界面上的自组装和定向组装，包括石墨、碳纳米管和BNNT基复合材料，界面附近聚合物的纳米尺度限制，以及产生高强度的材料的界面化学和反应。将讨论原位纳米尺度力学和原子尺度界面机制，界面相和复合材料的原子、粗晶、多尺度和人工智能模型，仿生和生物启发复合材料的界面特性，以及与加工和性能预测相关的实验、模拟和人工智能方面的进展。该奖项反映了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。

The project will support the Symposium CT04: "Tailored Interphases for High Strength and Functional Composites ? Advances in Experiments, Simulations and AI-Based Designs", at the 2020 Spring Meeting of the Materials Research Society (MRS) during April 13-17, 2020, at the Phoenix Convention Center. The symposium will bring together many of the world?s leading experts in composites research, which has applications in defense, aerospace, and commercial transportation technologies. The project also supports the mission of MRS as the world's foremost international scientific gathering for materials research to showcase leading interdisciplinary research in both fundamental and applied areas. The symposium organizers are part of a team of 200 scientists from academia and industry in many countries around the world that coordinate the MRS meeting and technical programming. The symposium will bring together leading scientists, junior scientists, and attendees from an interdisciplinary research community to foster idea exchange and new collaborations in the topical area of composite materials and data driven design of complex materials. The objective of this project is to pay travel costs for invited speakers, students and early-career researchers participating in the symposium. Funds will be specifically directed to invited and contributed speakers with disabilities, underrepresented minorities, and women. The project will also support young, diverse US-based researchers such as assistant professors and researchers in equivalent positions in other work sectors, post-doctoral scholars, and students. Recruitment efforts for minority presenters and broad participation from various related disciplines will be made. The symposium aims at better connecting scientists and engineers with expertise in different research fields related to structural and functional composites, such as physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering, bioengineering, and data science to advance cutting-edge research tools and design materials for transportation, aerial vehicles and aerospace technology. Specifically, research areas to be covered in the symposium include self-assembly and directed assembly of polymers, biopolymers, and colloids at ceramic and mineral interfaces, including graphitic, CNT, and BNNT based composites, nanoscale confinement of polymers near interfaces, as well as interfacial chemistry and reactions of materials to generate high strength. In-situ nanoscale mechanics and atomic-scale interfacial mechanisms, atomistic, coarse-grain, multiscale, and AI models of interphases and composites, interphase properties in biomimetic and bio-inspired composites, as well as advances in experiment, simulation, and artificial intelligence related to processing and property prediction will be discussed.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.
