1996 Chemistry at Interfaces Gordon Conference: Interfacial Structure, July 21-26, 1996 Meriden, New Hampshire

Vanderlick 9630029这项建议要求提供资金，以部分支持将于1996年7月21-26日在新罕布夏州梅里登的金博尔联盟学院举行的接口戈登会议。所要求的资金将用于支付出席会议的一些发言者的旅费和会议费，主要用于出席会议的有前途的学生和初级教员。会议的目的是鼓励包括电化学家、生物物理学家和膜生物学家、化学工程师以及胶体和表面科学家在内的几组科学家在界面化学前沿交流思想，并集中讨论界面结构这一主题，因为它与液/气、液/液和液/固界面有关。界面分子垂直于界面和平行于界面的空间排列是将重点关注的结构问题。这种分辨率将从原子尺度到超分子尺度。会议主题是研究胶体体系中的物理现象的一个重要焦点，如胶束溶液、微乳液、乳液、分散体、浆料等。本次研讨会将总结我们目前对这些体系中界面结构的理解，以及这种结构与化学和物理化学现象的关系。模拟和实验正在成为研究这些界面系统结构的补充方法，因此拟议的会议特别及时。除了解决结构问题的能力的论文外，还有一些论文讨论在这些相同的界面上发生的化学作用，以及由此产生的化学作用与界面结构的关系。会议的形式是围绕被邀请的演讲者，详细介绍他们研究的科学前沿。正式会议的一半时间用于讨论发言者和讨论带头人提出的议题。正式会议在上午和晚上的晚餐后举行。安排了一个下午的研讨会，下午晚些时候安排了两个海报会议。海报由不同的与会者提供，并提供了一个与会议主题相关的额外贡献的场所。***

Vanderlick 9630029 This proposal requests funds in partial support of the Interfaces Gordon Conference to be held 21-26 July 1996 at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire. The funds requested will be used to defray travel and conference expenses for some of the speakers attending the conference and principally for promising students and junior faculty attending the conference. The purpose of the conference is to encourage the transfer of ideas at the frontiers of chemistry at interfaces, among several groups of scientists, including electrochemists, biophysicists and membrane biologists, chemical engineers, and colloid and surface scientists, and to focus on the topic of Interfacial Structure as it relates to liquid/air, liquid/liquid, and liquid/solid interfaces. The spatial arrangement of interfacial molecules normal and parallel to the interfaces is the key structural issue that will be focused upon. This resolution will range from atomic scale to supramolecular. The conference topic is an important focal point for examining physical pheomena that occur in colloidal systems such as micellar solutions, microemulsions, emulsions, dispersions, slurries, etc. This symposium will serve to summarize our current understanding of interfacial structure in these systems, and the relation of this structure to chemical and physiochemical phenomena. Simulations and experiments are becoming complementary approaches to investigating the structure of these interfacial systems, so the proposed conference is particularly timely. In addition to papers that address our ability to resolve structural issues, are papers that address chemistry occurring at these same interfaces, and the relation of the resulting chemistry to the interfacial structure. The format of the conference is built around invited speakers detailing the scientific frontiers of their research. Half of the formal conference time is devoted to discussion of topics addressed by the speakers and by the discussion leade rs. The formal sessions are held in the morning and after dinner in the evening. One afternoon workshop is scheduled, and two poster session are scheduled in later afternoon time slots. Posters are contributed by the various conferees, and afford a venue for additional contributions relevant to the conference theme. ***
