Participant Support for Students to Attend the International Conference and Workshop on Mxenes; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; 5-7 August 2024

该奖项为将于2024年8月5日至7日在美国宾夕法尼亚州费城的德雷克塞尔大学举行的关于MXenes：改变世界的国际会议和研讨会的与会者提供支持。研讨会的重点是MXenes的最新研究和开发活动，MXenes是一种相对新颖的2D纳米材料。通过口头和海报环节，精选的学生、教师和知名研究人员展示了他们在材料科学、材料化学、材料加工和MXenes先进制造领域的最新研究成果。为确保参加会议的多样性，优先考虑妇女和代表不足的少数族裔学生。这一奖项通过培训熟练的纳米材料和制造劳动力使国家受益，他们更好地准备好为他们选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案。这次会议在支持和维持MXenes这一重要领域发挥了重要作用，MXenes是一项无处不在的技术，影响着所有工业部门，对社会有益。这次会议是适时的，因为美国对促进这种具有重要技术意义的新型纳米材料的研究和开发表现出许多有用和独特的性质以及潜在的有用应用的兴趣是及时的。这种参与者的支持预计将有利于学生的专业、科学和技术发展。参加会议的学生对纳米材料化学、陶瓷、先进制造、它们的基础和应用有了更广泛的看法。研讨会的主题包括MXene重大发现的背景介绍，基础研究领域的确定，新型2D纳米材料的多样化教育，以及促进技术潜力。与会者通过访问几个由国内和国际主要演讲者进行的技术和专业发展讲座，了解其技术领域的最先进研究。更广泛的影响活动包括教育推广、知识转让和技能发展、多样性、公平和包容性、产业协作、全球协作和领导以及公众参与。学生通过口头和海报演示以及深入讨论他们与同行在各自技术领域的工作来提高他们的沟通技能。这种互动体验极大地拓宽了学生的教育范围，提高了他们对研究主题的热情，让他们熟悉了对科学职业的期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新方法。会议还提供了一门关于MXene合成的基础课程。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。

This award provides participant support for attendees of the International Conference and Workshop on MXenes: Changing the World to be held at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, USA, from August 5-7, 2024. The workshop focuses on the latest research and development activities in MXenes, a relatively novel 2D nanomaterial. Through oral and poster sessions, selected students, faculty, and prominent researchers present their latest research results in the areas of materials science, materials chemistry, materials processing, and advanced manufacturing of MXenes. To ensure diversity in participation at the conference, priority is given to women and underrepresented minority students. This award benefits the nation through the education of a skilled nanomaterials and manufacturing workforce, which is better prepared to provide transformative solutions to the challenges in their chosen fields. The conference plays a significant role in supporting and sustaining the important field of MXenes, a technology that is pervasive and impacts all industrial sectors with benefits to society. This conference is timely because of strong interest in the U.S in fostering the research and development of this family of technologically important novel nanomaterials that exhibit many useful and unique properties and potentially useful applications.This participant support is expected to benefit the students' professional, scientific, and technical development. Attendance at the conference gives the students a broader view of nanomaterials chemistry, ceramics, advanced manufacturing, their fundamentals, and applications. Workshop topics include contextualization of major MXene discoveries, identification of basic research areas, diversified education in novel 2D nanomaterials, and promotion of technological potential. Attendees learn about state-of-the-art research in their technical areas via access to several technical and professional development talks by leading domestic and international speakers. The broader impact activities include education outreach, knowledge transfer and skill development, diversity, equity and inclusion, industrial collaboration, global collaboration and leadership, and public engagement. Students enhance their communication skills through oral and poster presentations and in-depth discussions of their work with peers in their technical areas. This interactive experience significantly broadens student education, increases their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaints them with expectations for scientific careers, and exposes them to novel approaches for innovative research. The conference also offers a foundational course on MXene synthesis.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.
