2004 Corrosion, Aqueous Gordon Research Conference, New London, NH, July 25-30, 2004.

该奖项由材料研究部颁发，为将于7月25日至30日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比-索耶学院举行的戈登水性腐蚀研究会议提供部分支持。获得此奖项后，Scully教授将组织一次会议，主题为“水性腐蚀科学的进展、需求和机遇”。本次会议更广泛的目标是促进科学家和教育工作者之间就了解金属腐蚀领域的一些最新进展以及这些过程从凹坑到裂纹的转变进行信息和思想交流。此外，涂层和添加剂的防腐蚀，腐蚀机制的多尺度建模，以及腐蚀的微观结构和纳米尺度方面是其他一些要讨论的主题。当许多社区面临饮用水因腐蚀而含铅的问题时，本次会议将讨论当前感兴趣的一个重要话题。因此，相关的科学以及如何预防这种情况非常重要。预计将有许多教育工作者、研究人员和学生展示他们的研究成果，NSF的支持将主要用于支持学生、演讲者、年轻教师和科学家。

This award by the Division of Materials Research provides partial support for a Gordon Research Conference on Aqueous Corrosion to be held on July 25-30 at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH. With this award, Professor Scully will organize a conference, the theme of which will be "Progress, Needs, and Opportunities in Aqueous Corrosion Science". The broader objective of this conference is to stimulate exchange information and ideas among scientists and educators on a number of recent advances in understanding the field of metal corrosion and the transitions of these processes from pits to cracks. In addition, corrosion prevention by coatings and additives, multiscale modeling on the corrosion mechanisms, and microstructural and nanoscale aspects of corrosion are some of the other topics to be discussed. This conference will be discussing an important topic of current interest, when many communities are facing the presence of lead in drinking water by corrosion. Hence, science involved and how to prevent this are of great importance. A number of educators, researchers and students are expected to present their studies, and the NSF support would be used primarily to support students, speakers and young faculty and scientists.
