2003 Gordon Research Conference on Ion Containing Polymers; Holyoke, MA; July 13-18, 2003

该提案要求国家科学基金会提供3000美元的资金，以帮助有价值和相关的研究生和博士后参加2003年戈登含离子聚合物研究会议的会议费/差旅费。 这次会议将于7月13日至18日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行。 会议联合主席是Kenneth A.博士。莫里茨教授 南密西西比大学高分子科学系和Claudine E.威廉姆斯，液体有机物培养箱，法国科尔格学院。 会议将包括由一个不同的收集杰出的国际科学家在以下主题范围内的基础科学演讲：nanoscopically异质离聚物具有定制的传输性能，聚电解质具有疏水/亲水substructuting和胶束，多层膜和刷，两亲性共聚物，带电大分子自组装和超分子复合物。 向NSF提出的这一请求特别是用于资助适当的有需要的博士后助理或高年级研究生的会议费和/或差旅费，每人约500美元。 这项援助的目标是提供一个教育论坛和机会，为年轻的研究人员在高等教育谁是追求科学事业的重要竞技场的含离子聚合物的专业发展。

This proposal requests funding from the National Science Foundation in the amount of $3000 to assist in the conference fees/travel expenses of worthy and relevant graduate students and postdoctorals to the 2003 Gordon Research Conference on Ion Containing Polymers. This conference will be held July 13-18 at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Conference co-chairpersons are Dr. Kenneth A. Mauritz, Professor. Department of Polymer Science, University of Southern Mississippi, and Dr. Claudine E. Williams, Laboratoire des Fluides Organis s, Coll ge de France. The sessions will include fundamental scientific presentations by a diverse collection of outstanding international scientists over the following range of topics: nanoscopically heterogeneous ionomers having tailored transport properties, polyelectrolytes having hydrophobic/hydrophilic sub-structuting and micelles, polyelectrolyte multilayers and brushes, amphiphilic copolymers, charged macromolecular self-assembly and supramolecular complexes. This request to the NSF is particularly for financial assistance that will be applied toward the conference fees and/or travel expenses of appropriate needy postdoctoral associates, or senior graduate students, in the amount of approximately $500 each. The goal of this assistance is to provide an educational forum and opportunily for the professional development of young researchers in higher education who are pursuing scientific careers in the important arena of ion containing polymers.
