Plasma processing is a key technology in both well-established industries (semiconductor processing, LED lighting) and in emerging applications (pharmaceutical manufacturing, energy conversion technologies, agriculture). The common thread that runs through these manufacturing processes is the interaction between a plasma and the surface it modifies, with the range of surfaces under investigation by the plasma community continuously increasing in variety. Plasmas are now being used to process not only inorganic materials, but also polymers, biopolymers, living tissue, low-dimensional materials such as catalyst nanoparticles, liquids, and liquid droplets. The 2022 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS) will be held July 24-29, 2022, at the Proctor Academy, Andover, NH to provide a unique environment for scientists to discuss the unresolved issues in plasma-matter interaction. The meeting will bring together experts in all areas related to plasma processing science, covering theory, experimental methods, and advanced characterization techniques. The conference will bring together leaders in the field, early-career investigators including postdocs, and graduate students. While most of the talks will be given by invited speakers, selected contributions from attendees will be included in the program. The Gordon Research Seminar, which will take place immediately before the conference, will provide a venue for early career researchers to present and discuss their research. Gordon Conferences provide ample time for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, providing a constructive atmosphere for brainstorming and creative thinking among the attendees.The 2022 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS) “Plasmas and Their Interaction with Matter” consists of nine sessions covering a broad range of topics, from plasma-liquid interfaces to synthesis of novel materials and plasma-driven catalysis. While the conference theme is the same as 2018 GRC-PPS, only two of the sessions of the 2022 meeting overlap with those offered in 2018 – the choice to revisit these topics was motivated by the continued relevance of plasma-driven materials synthesis and rapidly increasing interest in plasma catalysis. The 2022 GRC-PPS will highlight that the range of surfaces under investigation by the plasma community is continuously increasing, providing new challenges and opportunities to this broad discipline. This conference will bring together experts in all aspects of plasma science, including theory, experimental methods, and advanced characterization techniques. This conference and the associated Gordon Research Seminar will provide an informal venue for discussing the most pressing scientific issues in plasma processing science, facilitating the exchange of ideas and establishing new collaborations. The societal contributions of plasma processing science emerged with the development of modern semiconductor device manufacturing etch processes, which in turn has enabled the information technology revolution. Plasma processing science now encompasses applications in energy storage and conversion, catalysis, medical treatment technologies, and biomass and polymer conversion processes, underscoring the potential positive impact of the GRC meeting on society. Moreover, representatives at all career stages, from recognized leaders to graduate students, will have an opportunity to share their insights into the most pressing issues in plasma science. International participants with affiliations beyond academia will actively contribute to this meeting. The conference organizers are committed to reaching out to potential participants from underrepresented groups. The program includes a Power Hour, designed to support the professional growth of women in the scientific community. Moreover, the GR Seminar will provide unique training, mentoring, and networking opportunities to early-stage researchers.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.

等离子体加工是成熟行业（半导体加工、LED照明）和新兴应用（制药、能源转换技术、农业）的关键技术。贯穿这些制造过程的共同主线是等离子体与其改性表面之间的相互作用，等离子体社区研究的表面范围不断增加。等离子体现在不仅用于处理无机材料，而且还用于处理聚合物、生物聚合物、活组织、低维材料，例如催化剂纳米颗粒、液体和液滴。2022年戈登等离子体加工科学研究会议（GRC-PPS）将于2022年7月24日至29日在新罕布什尔州安多弗的普罗克特学院举行，为科学家讨论等离子体物质相互作用中未解决的问题提供独特的环境。会议将汇集与等离子体加工科学相关的所有领域的专家，涵盖理论，实验方法和先进的表征技术。会议将汇集该领域的领导者，包括博士后在内的早期职业调查人员和研究生。虽然大部分的演讲将由受邀演讲者提供，但与会者的部分贡献将包括在该计划中。戈登研究研讨会，这将发生在会议之前，将提供一个场所，为早期的职业研究人员介绍和讨论他们的研究。戈登会议在下午和晚上提供了充足的时间进行非正式聚会，为与会者提供了一个集思广益和创造性思维的建设性氛围。2022年戈登等离子体加工科学研究会议（GRC-PPS）“等离子体及其与物质的相互作用”由九个会议组成，涵盖广泛的主题，从等离子体-液体界面到新型材料的合成和等离子体驱动的催化。虽然会议主题与2018年GRC-PPS相同，但2022年会议中只有两个会议与2018年的会议重叠-选择重新审视这些主题的动机是等离子体驱动材料合成的持续相关性和对等离子体催化的兴趣迅速增加。2022年GRC-PPS将强调等离子体社区正在研究的表面范围不断增加，为这一广泛的学科提供了新的挑战和机遇。本次会议将汇集等离子体科学各个方面的专家，包括理论，实验方法和先进的表征技术。本次会议和相关的戈登研究研讨会将提供一个非正式的场所，讨论等离子体加工科学中最紧迫的科学问题，促进思想交流和建立新的合作。等离子体加工科学的社会贡献随着现代半导体器件制造蚀刻工艺的发展而出现，这反过来又使信息技术革命成为可能。等离子体加工科学现在包括在能量储存和转换，催化，医疗技术，生物质和聚合物转化过程中的应用，强调了GRC会议对社会的潜在积极影响。此外，从公认的领导者到研究生，所有职业阶段的代表都将有机会分享他们对等离子体科学中最紧迫问题的见解。学术界以外的国际与会者将积极为这次会议作出贡献。会议组织者致力于接触代表性不足群体的潜在与会者。该计划包括一个Power Hour，旨在支持科学界女性的专业成长。此外，GR研讨会将为早期研究人员提供独特的培训，指导和网络机会。该奖项反映了NSF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。
