1993 GORDON CONFERENCE ON REACTIVE POLYMERS

要求提供资金，以支助参加“反应”会议的与会者的旅费。 聚合物、离子交换剂和吸附剂”戈登研究会议将于 1993年8月22日至27日在美国国际扶轮社纽波特的Salve Regina大学举行。 许多人认为，这次多学科会议是 一个小型会议，专门讨论吸附剂的设计和应用， 在含水系统中。传统上，财政支持的一个重要部分 来自工业界。但最近的 调查显示，由于不利的商业环境， 这次会议可望得到微不足道的工业支持。 这个戈登研究会议是由一个名为， 离子交换树脂上一次以此为题的戈登研究会议 会议于1984年改组， 第一次会议下的新标题，“反应性聚合物，离子交换剂和 1985年的《吸附剂》。自那时以来，会议每两年举行一次， 罗德岛州纽波特 新会议的章程从侧重于离子， 与聚合物吸附剂的分离现象交换， 支持的形态，表面和分子结构，以及 由于官能化聚合物和 山梨酸酯是主要的调查对象。扩大的焦点仍然是 包括离子交换现象，但涉及除离子以外的山梨酸盐 以及山梨酸酯与各种动态聚合物的相互作用， 除了库仑相互作用。“反应性聚合物”会议 不同于戈登会议上的“吸附”和“聚合物” 因为聚合物的结构和 与化学品中涉及的分子相互作用的结构 反应或分离过程是重点的核心。 有了这个有针对性的研究活动竞技场，关于“反应”的会议 “聚合物”促进了许多科学学科的交叉。 其中，聚合物合成、催化、界面科学、流体 动力学，生物技术，色谱，离子交换，吸附， 分子识别、亲和分离和生物工程等方面的研究进展良好， 代表。 因此，会议通常由下列人员出席： 化学工程师、聚合物化学家、分析化学家、环境 工程师、生命科学家和生物技术专家。它提供了一个独特的 跨学科论坛，提供有关最新进展的信息， 以促进进一步的进步。反应性聚合物的研究领域是 迅速发展，并预计将对我们今天的生活至关重要。 经济和福利。例如，生物技术和控制我们的 环境在很大程度上取决于反应的可用性 聚合物具有正确的结构和选择性。 会议将讨论的主要议题包括：（1）准备和 超纯水的表征;（2）用于超纯水的新型吸附剂配置 高分子催化剂;（4）高分子催化剂的研究进展 反应性聚合物;（5）生物聚合物与表面的相互作用;（6） 手性分离;（7）蛋白质色谱。 讲座的初步计划在计划中提出。充足的时间 将在每次讨论时提供，并将尽一切努力包括 少数民族和年轻的研究人员在该计划。 特别注意 将支付海报演示文稿，我们计划支持 研究生人数较多， 他们在会议上展示海报。

Funds are requested to support travel of participants to the "Reactive Polymers, Ion-Exchangers and Adsorbents" Gordon Research Conference to be held August 22-27, 1993 at the Salve Regina University in Newport, RI. This multidisciplinary Conference is thought by many to be the premier small meeting devoted to the design and application of adsorbents for use in aqueous systems. Traditionally, a significant part of financial support for the Conference had come from industrial sources. However, recent inquiries suggest that due to the unfavorable business climate only trifling industrial support can be expected for this Conference. This Gordon Research Conference grew out a of former Conference entitled, "Ion Exchange Resins". The last Gordon Research Conference with this title was held in 1983: the Conference was reorganized in 1984 and held its first meeting under the new title, "Reactive Polymers,Ion-Exchangers and Adsorbents" in 1985. Since then the Conference took place biannually in Newport, RI. The charter for the new Conference was broadened from a focus on ion- exchange to that on separation phenomena with polymeric sorbents and supports where the morphology, surface and molecular architecture as well as the dynamics of interaction between the functionalized polymer and sorbate are the major subjects of inquiry. The broadened focus still includes ion- exchange phenomena but addresses sorbates other than ions and interactions of sorbates with dynamic polymers of all kinds in addition to coulombic interactions. The Conference on "Reactive Polymers" is distinct from the Gordon Conference on "Adsorption" and on "Polymers" in that the architecture of the polymers and the impact of the architecture upon the interaction with molecules involved in a chemical reaction or in a separation process is at the heart of the emphasis. With this targeted arena of research activity, the Conference on "Reactive Polymers" stimulates cross-fertilization of many scientific disciplines. Among others, polymer synthesis, catalysis, interfacial science, fluid dynamics, biotechnology, chromatography, ion-exchange, adsorption, molecular recognition, affinity separations and bioengineering are well represented. For this reason, the Conference is usually attended by chemical engineers, polymer chemists, analytical chemists, environmental engineers, life scientists and biotechnologists. It offers a unique interdisciplinary forum to give information about the latest advances and to stimulate further progress. The research area of reactive polymers is growing rapidly and expected to be of vital importance to our present-day economy and welfare. For instance, biotechnology and control of our environment are very much dependent on the availability of reactive polymers having the right architecture and selectivity. The main topics to be treated at the meeting include (1) Preparation and characterization of ultrapure water; (2) Novel sorbent-configurations for enhancement of efficiency; (3) Catalysis by polymers; (4) Advances in reactive polymers; (5) Interaction of biopolymers with surfaces; (6) Chiral separations; (7) Chromatography of proteins. The preliminary program of lectures is presented in the plan. Ample time will be provided per discussion and every effort will be made to include minorities and young investigators in the program. Particular attention will be paid to poster presentations and we plan to support the participation of a relatively large number of graduate students to enable them to present posters at the conference.
