Conference: 2023 Gordon Research Conference and Seminar on the Science of Adhesion; South Hadley, Massachusetts; 23-28 July 2023

该奖项为30名学生和博士后助理以及10名早期职业研究人员提供支持，以参加2023年戈登研究会议和戈登研究研讨会。会议将于2023年7月22日至28日在美国马萨诸塞州南哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行。该奖项旨在增加学生和博士后以及来自科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的早期职业研究人员的参与。该奖项提供的支持将促进来自广泛机构和学科的不同学生和早期职业研究人员的参与。粘附科学是跨学科的，来自多个领域的参与者将得到支持。学生和早期职业研究人员参与本次会议将有助于确保粘附科学和工程的持续创新。戈登研究会议和附属的戈登粘附科学研究研讨会汇集了一个在界面和表面现象方面具有专业知识和兴趣的社区，重点是力学，材料，化学，和系统的结构，其中粘附力起控制作用。2023年的会议将专注于提高我们在广泛应用中理解和控制长度范围内粘附力的能力。会议将包括讨论在理解软，结构和生物材料的粘附和界面的进展。具有确定性控制粘附力的界面在一系列应用中至关重要，包括医疗设备，机器人，人机界面和可持续材料。该项目由土木工程系材料与结构力学（MoMS）计划共同资助，机械和制造创新（CMMI）和材料研究部（DMR）的生物材料（BMAT）计划该奖项反映了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。

This award provides support for 30 students and postdoctoral associates and ten early career researchers to participate in the 2023 Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on the Science of Adhesion. The meeting will be held at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, US, from July 22 to 28, 2023. This award aims to increase the participation of students and postdoctoral associates as well as early career researchers from underrepresented groups in science and engineering. Support provided by this award will facilitate the participation of a diverse cohort of students and early career researchers from a broad range of institutions and disciplines. Adhesion science is interdisciplinary, and participants from multiple fields will be supported. The engagement of students and early career researchers in this meeting will help to ensure continued innovation in adhesion science and engineering.The Gordon Research Conference and the affiliated Gordon Research Seminar on the Science of Adhesion bring together a community with expertise and interests in interfacial and surface phenomena with an emphasis on the relationship between mechanics, materials, chemistry, and structure of systems where adhesion plays a controlling role. The 2023 meeting will focus on advancing our ability to understand and control adhesion across length scales for a broad set of applications. The meeting will include discussions of advances in understanding adhesion and interfaces in soft, structural, and biological materials. Interfaces with deterministically controlled adhesion are crucial in a range of applications, including medical devices, robotics, human-machine interfaces, and sustainable materials.This project is jointly funded by the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS) Program in the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) and the Biomaterials (BMAT) Program in the Division of Materials Research (DMR).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.
