U.S.- Japan Joint Seminar: "Hybrid" Materials

0234287 Wynne该奖项支持美国科学家参与一项美国- 2003年5月11日至14日在日本三岛举行日本混合材料联合研讨会。 共同组织者是位于里士满的弗吉尼亚联邦大学的肯尼思韦恩教授和日本新泻大学的坪川纪夫教授。 会议将汇集来自美国和日本的研究科学家和工程师，这两个国家在过去十年中在混合材料方面取得了重要和令人兴奋的进展。 研讨会的主要目标是解决当前的关键问题和未来的机会，杂化材料，重点是独特的协同作用，从有机和无机相的组合结果。 演讲将集中在如何设计这样的纳米结构在一个可控的方式，并组织在更大的长度尺度的纳米粒子。 拟议的研讨会的另一个目标是汇集研究人员在聚合物合成，聚合物物理，聚合物表征的仪器方法，固态聚合物的性能，和各种聚合物的应用领域，谁有共同的和互补的利益。 目的是确定共同的研究重点，并探讨联合研究合作的领域。共同组织者在该领域具有互补的科学专长。 这使他们能够评估和吸引最好的有机和无机化学家，材料科学家和工程师参与。 研讨会的组织者作出了特别努力，让少数群体、博士后和研究生既作为与会者又作为观察员参加。 与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会之后，组织者计划建立一个研讨会网页。 会议记录将在本网站上公布。 会议记录将包括节目时间表和会谈摘要，包括主要参考文献。

0234287WynneThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan joint seminar on hybrid materials to be held in Mishima, Japan from May 11-14, 2003. The co-organizers are Professor Kenneth Wynne at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and Professor Norio Tsubokawa at Niigata University in Japan. The meeting will bring together research scientists and engineers from the U.S. and Japan, two countries where important and exciting progress in hybrid materials has been made in the last decade. The main objective of the seminar is to address current critical issues and future opportunities for hybrid materials, focusing on the unique synergism that results from combinations of organic and inorganic phases. Presentations will focus on how to design such nanostructures in a controlled manner and to organize the nonoparticles on larger length scales. A further objective of the proposed seminar is to bring together researchers in the areas of polymer synthesis, polymer physics, instrumental methods of polymer characterization, solid-state polymer properties, and various polymer applications, who have common and complimentary interests. The goal is to identify common research priorities and to explore areas of joint research cooperation.The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best organic and inorganic chemists, materials scientists and engineers to participate. The seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve minorities, postdocs and graduate students as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar the organizers plan to establish a workshop web page. Conference proceedings will be published on this web site. The proceedings will include the program schedule and abstracts of talks including key references to the literature.
