U.S.-Japan Seminar: Macromolecular #esign for Advanced Materials; November 6-12, 1993; Napa Valley, California

该奖项支持13名美国科学家参加将于1993年11月6日至12日在加利福尼亚州纳帕谷举行的美日先进材料高分子设计研讨会。联合组织者是凯斯西储大学的Virgil Percec教授和京都大学的Yukio Imanishi教授。会议的重点将集中在新型聚合方法及其在设计新的和定义明确的复杂高分子结构方面的最新进展，这些结构能够产生具有受控光学、电子、离子、生物医学、高强度和其他特殊性质的先进材料。这次会议是18年来美日在这一领域举行的一系列研讨会中的第六次。这次研讨会是及时的，因为先进材料是电子、通信、航空航天、汽车和医疗保健行业当前和预期发展的基础。美国和日本在这些领域中的每一个领域都做出了重要贡献，加强思想和信息交流应该会促进两国科学家之间的进一步合作研究。

This award supports the participation of 13 U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan Seminar on Macromolecular Design for Advanced Materials, to be held in Napa Valley, California November 6 to 12, 1993. The co-organizers are Professor Virgil Percec of Case Western Reserve University and Professor Yukio Imanishi of Kyoto University. The focus of the meeting will be on the most recent advances in the elaboration of novel polymerization methods and their use in the design of new and well-defined complex macromolecular architectures capable of generating advanced materials with controlled optical, electronic, ionic, biomedical, high-strength and other special properties. This meeting is the sixth in a series of U.S.-Japan seminars in this field held over a period of 18 years. The seminar is timely because advanced materials underlie current and projected developments in the electronics, communications, aerospace, automotive, and health care industries. Important contributions are being made in each of these areas in the United States and Japan, and increased exchange of ideas and information should lead to further collaborative research between scientists in the two countries.
