U.S.-Korea Seminar on Composites, Seoul, Korea

小行星9731013 该奖项支持13名美国研究人员参加“1998年美国-韩国复合材料研讨会”，将于1998年9月7日至11日在韩国首尔举行。 美国和韩国的协调员分别是H.洛杉矶加州大学机械和航空航天工程系的托马斯哈恩和首尔韩国科学技术研究所聚合物混合研究中心的Chul Rim Choe博士。 这次研讨会将汇集顶尖科学家/工程师，讨论和交流这一研究领域的信息，并确定在今后的合作活动中可能适当处理的专题。 由于过去三十年的广泛研究工作，各种复合材料已经成为可用的，可以提供传统材料无法提供的独特性能。 然而，不幸的是，这种独特的性能通常是以高成本获得的，阻碍了这些材料的更广泛应用。尽管如此，通过采用综合方法开发和生产复合材料产品，可以降低成本。 必要的集成需要来自复合材料科学和技术不同领域的工程师的合作。 因此，拟议的联合研讨会的主要目的是为来自不同背景的研究人员/教育工作者提供一个论坛，以交流信息，并探讨美国和韩国之间未来合作的可能性，以实现复合材料技术的互利。 该项目与美国的目标有关-韩国合作科学计划，旨在通过科学信息，思想，技能和技术的交流以及通过互利问题的合作来提高美国和韩国科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。 该项目将为一名美国研究生提供重要研究领域的国际培训和经验。 韩国的参与得到了韩国科学与工程基金会（KOSEF）的支持。 韩国复合材料协会（KSCM）将担任东道主。 ***

9731013 Hahn This award supports the participation of thirteen U.S. researchers in the "1998 U.S.-Korea Seminar on Composites," to be held in Seoul, Korea, September 7-11, 1998. The U.S. and Korean Coordinators are, respectively, Dr. H. Thomas Hahn, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, University of California, Los Angeles, and Dr. Chul Rim Choe, Polymer Hybrids Research Center, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul. This seminar will bring together leading scientists/engineers to discuss and exchange information in this area of research and to identify topics which may be suitably addressed in future cooperative activities. As a result of extensive research efforts over the past three decades, a variety of composites have become available which can provide the kind of unique performance that conventional materials cannot. Unfortunately, however, such unique performance is frequently obtained at a high cost, hindering wider application of these materials. Nevertheless, cost can be brought down by using an integrated approach to the development and production of composite products. The necessary integration requires collaboration of engineers from diverse areas of composites science and technology. Thus, the main purpose of the proposed joint seminar is to provide a forum for researchers/educators from widely different backgrounds to exchange information and explore the possibility of future cooperation between the U.S. and Korea to realize mutual benefits from the technology of composites. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit. This project will provide international training and experience for one U.S. graduate student in an important area of res earch. Korean participation is supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). The Korean Society for Composite Materials (KSCM) will serve as host. ***
