This grant provides participant support for 25 students to attend AmeriMech Symposium on Fracture of Soft Materials. The symposium will be held at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center, University of Texas at Austin; 12-16 May 2024. Soft materials, such as elastomers and hydrogels, are key components in a wide range of applications, including stretchable electronics, soft robotics, tissue engineering, and biomedical devices.This symposium will broaden the participation of young researchers in the field as well as researchers from groups that are underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. The other important aspect is to promote cross-disciplinary interactions between mechanics and chemistry, spanning a broad scope of research subjects. This symposium will help assess the state-of-the-art and chart new directions for the future. The AmeriMech Symposium aims to bring together leading active researchers in the field, from around the world and across disciplinary boundaries, to foster close interactions and exchanges of forward-looking research ideas.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.

该基金为25名学生提供参加AmeriMech软材料断裂研讨会的参与者支持。研讨会将在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校at &amp；T酒店和会议中心举行；2024年5月12日至16日。软材料，如弹性体和水凝胶，是广泛应用的关键部件，包括可拉伸电子、软机器人、组织工程和生物医学设备。这次研讨会将扩大这一领域的年轻研究人员以及在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的研究人员的参与。另一个重要方面是促进力学和化学之间的跨学科互动，涵盖广泛的研究课题。这次研讨会将有助于评估最新的技术和规划未来的新方向。AmeriMech研讨会旨在汇集来自世界各地和跨越学科界限的该领域领先的活跃研究人员，促进前瞻性研究思想的密切互动和交流。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。
