2004 Polymer Physics Gordon Conference, August 1-6, 2004, Connecticut College, New London, CT

2004年高分子物理戈登会议研究生支持计划摘要 2004年高分子物理戈登会议将于2004年8月1日至6日在康涅狄格大学举行。多年来，该会议一直是全球高分子物理活动的中心。 2004年的会议将有来自高分子物理活动前沿的国际小组的演讲。 其中要讨论的主题是生物聚合物动力学，玻璃化转变动力学，聚电解质，聚合物混合物，聚合物表面，先进的神学，和基于聚合物的电子材料。 组织会议的一个主要目标是邀请以前没有在会议上发言的发言者，以便让聚合物物理界有机会听到该领域一些最重要的新举措。 在2004年发言的人中，有3/4以前没有在高分子物理戈登会议上发言。 高分子物理戈登会议有一个强大的传统，包括研究生和博士后开发人力资源。 其中一个重要的方式是海报会议（2002年吸引了大约100名与会者）。 这些海报使青年科学家能够与所有与会者分享他们的成果，并获得重要的反馈。 2004年戈登会议将在这一传统的基础上，增加四个简短的会谈，由研究生的主要计划。 这一新的增加将进一步证实年轻科学家对这次会议的贡献，以及这次会议在他们的发展中可以发挥的重要作用。 本提案要求4000美元用于支付另外6名研究生的会议费，从而使他们能够参加会议。

Project Summary - Graduate Student Support for 2004 Polymer Physics Gordon Conference The 2004 Polymer Physics Gordon Conference will be held at Connecticut College from August 1-6, 2004. The meeting has, for many years, been at the center of polymer physics activities worldwide. The 2004 meeting will have talks from an international group at the cutting edge of polymer physics activities. Among the topics to be discussed are biopolymer dynamics, glass transition dynamics, polyelectrolytes, polymer mixtures, polymer surfaces, advanced theology, and electronic materials based on polymers. A major goal in organizing the meeting has been to invite speakers who have not previously spoken at the meeting, in order to give the polymer physics community an opportunity to hear of some of the most important new initiatives in the field. Of those speaking in 2004, 3/4 have not previously spoken at a Polymer Physics Gordon Conference. The Polymer Physics Gordon Conference has a strong tradition of developing human resources by including graduate students and postdocs. One important way in which this has happened has been the poster sessions (which drew approzimately 100 participants in 2002). The posters allow young scientists to share their results with all the meeting participants and to get important feedback. The 2004 Gordon Conference will build on this tradition by adding four short talks by graduate students to the main program. This new addition will further substantiate the contribution which younger scientist make to this meeting and the important role which this meeting can play in their development. This proposal requests $4000 to cover the conference fees of 6 additional graduate students, thereby allowing them to attend the meeting.
