First International Forum of Particle Technology

该奖项为“第一届国际粒子技术论坛”和一个初步研讨会提供部分资金支持。研讨会和会议的目的是将与粉末处理相关的许多不同特定重点主题领域的研究人员聚集在一起，以促进颗粒技术在美国作为一个连贯领域的出现。欧洲和环太平洋地区的协调努力要先进得多，有许多知名的学术部门和研究机构。这些会议将有助于促进类似的国内努力或制定一些适当的反应，以配合实地的发展。粉末技术显著影响许多工业部门，包括化工、农业、食品、制药、矿物加工、先进材料、空气污染甚至大众传播。因此，粉末处理技术的进步对美国的经济和生活质量有着广泛的影响。

This award provides funds for partial support of the "First International Forum of Particle Technology" and a preliminary workshop. The aim of the workshop and conference is to bring together researchers in many different specific focused topic areas related to powder handling in order to promote the emergence of particle technology as a coherent field in the United States. Coordinated efforts in Europe and the Pacific Rim are far more advanced with a number of visible academic departments and research institutes. These meetings will help to stimulate similar domestic efforts or to formulate some appropriate response in order to match developments in the field. Powder technology significantly influences many industrial sectors including chemical, agricultural, food products, pharmaceuticals, mineral processing, advanced materials, air contamination and even mass communication. As such, technological advances in the handling of powders have broad implications for the American economy and quality of life.
