XV University Conference on Glass Science: Structure, Properties and Applications of Phosphate and Phosphate-Containing Glasses, Rolla, MO

先进材料的发展及其记录性能的科学基础建立在我们对其性能与结构的各个方面之间的关系的基本理解之上。在当今市场上找到无数应用的最重要的新型玻璃之一是磷酸盐和含磷酸盐的玻璃。可制备磷酸盐和磷酸盐玻璃的组成范围广泛，使这些玻璃能够在与其他低温材料(如电信等许多应用中使用的塑料)更兼容的温度下，为许多不同的应用定制--光学、电气、生物医学和结构应用。虽然这些玻璃在实现突破性技术方面有着特殊的前景，但这些玻璃也是所有氧化物玻璃中研究最少的。这是有史以来第一次关于磷酸盐和含磷玻璃的会议，正是针对这一非常重要的玻璃类别的关键信息差距。这次会议是在大学玻璃科学会议系列的赞助下举办的，以利用其良好的结构和低成本。一个国际组织委员会已经就位，以协调这次会议。受邀的演讲者包括这一主题领域的美国和国际顶尖研究人员。会议将包括上午和下午的口头会议和海报会议。据估计，来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的约100名科学家将出席，学生和年轻研究人员的参与力度很大。在会议上提出和产生的信息将发表在关于这一主题的阅读量最大的档案期刊上。简而言之，这次会议将是有史以来第一次关于磷酸盐和含磷玻璃的会议。它将把范围广泛的玻璃科学家和工程师聚集在一起，他们的密切互动自然会导致新想法和方法的交叉培养，以解决这些复杂玻璃固有的许多问题。这次会议将为这一领域的持续活力提供催化剂。

The scientific basis for the development of advanced materials and their record performance is founded on our fundamental understanding of the correlations between their properties and various aspects of the structure. One of the most important new classes of glasses that are finding innumerable applications on the market place today are phosphate and phosphate-containing glasses. The wide compositions ranges over which phosphate and phosphate glasses can be prepared enable these glasses to be tailored for many different applications - optical, electrical, biomedical, and structural, at temperatures that are far more compatible with other low temperature materials such as plastics used in many applications such as telecommunications. While these glasses hold exceptional promise in enabling breakthrough technologies, these glasses are also among the least well studied of all oxide glasses. It is to this critical information gap about this very important class of glasses that this first-ever conference on Phosphate and Phosphate Containing Glasses is directed. This conference is organized under the auspices of the University Conference on Glass Science series to take advantage of its well established structure and low costs. An international organizing committee is in place to coordinate the meeting. The invited speakers include the top US and international researchers in this topical area. The conference will consist of morning and afternoon oral sessions and a poster session. Attendance is estimated to be about 100 scientists from academia, national laboratories, and industry, with strong participation from students and young researchers. The information presented and generated at the Conference will be published in the most widely read archival Journal on the subject. In short, this conference will be the first ever such conference on phosphate and phosphate containing glasses. It will bring together a broad range of glass scientists and engineers whose close interaction will naturally lead to cross-fertilization of new ideas and approaches to solving the many problems inherent in these complex glasses. This conference will provide a catalyst for continued vigor in this area.***
