US-Russia Workshop on the Fundamental Aspects of Self- propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) (Honolulu, HI; November 3-6, 1993)

这笔赠款将用于支持将于1993年11月3日至6日在夏威夷檀香山举行的名为“自传播高温合成（SHS）基本方面”的美俄讲习班。近年来，自传播高温合成技术（SHS）在高性能材料的研究和开发方面取得了重大进展。SHS是一种基于固体燃烧的独特过程，利用内部产生的化学能。俄罗斯和美国该领域公认的专家将(1)讨论最先进的研究成果，(2)确定可能建立合作的特定主题领域。这次讲习班将把15年来基本上并行进行的两项研究工作联系起来。此外，该研讨会吸引了来自美国各种机构的参与者，其中包括来自双方的几名年轻研究人员（40岁）。发表的关于SHS的大部分研究来自前苏联。前苏联!尤其是来自俄罗斯。大部分剩余的工作都在美国进行。最近的政治事件为俄罗斯和美国在基础SHS研究方面的合作打开了大门，这在三年前是不可能的。这次在SHS举办的研讨会实现了推进科学的计划目标，使美国和俄罗斯的领先专家能够在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域结合互补的人才和集中研究资源。

This grant will support a U.S.-Russia Workshop entitled "Fundamental Aspects of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS)"which will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, November 3-6, 1993. Significant advances have been made in recent years in the research and development of high- performance materials for technological needs using self- propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). SHS is a unique process based on solid-state combustion using internally generated chemical energy. Recognized experts in the field in both Russia and the U.S. will (1) discuss state-of- the-art research results, and (2) identify specific topic ares upon which collaboration(s) may be built. This workshop will link the two research efforts that have essentially been conducted in parallel for more than fifteen years. In addition, this workshop draws its participants from a variety of U.S. institutions, and includes several younger researchers (40 years of age) from both sides. The bulk of the published research on SHS is from the former Soviet Union ?FSU!, and particularly from Russia. Much of the remaining work has been conducted in the U.S. Recent political events have opened the door for a Russia/US collaboration in basic SHS research that would not have been possible three years ago. This workshop in SHS fulfills the program objectives of advancing science by enabling leading experts in the U.S. and Russia to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
