U.S.-Poland Workshop on Nanoscience and Nano-Structured Materials

摘要国际团体旅行：美国-波兰纳米科学和纳米结构材料研讨会，波兰波兹南，2006年6月26-28日这是一项为美国与会者参加于2006年6月26-28日在波兰波兹南Adam Mickiewicz大学举行的为期三天的纳米科学和纳米结构材料研讨会提供支持的提案。研讨会的目的是鼓励美国和波兰在这一领域的研究人员之间更密切的科学联系和长期的科学合作。在初级、中期和高级研究人员之间保持平衡，双方的研究兴趣相似或互补。研讨会的参与者将代表纳米科学和工程领域的广泛兴趣，例如，软材料、生物材料、聚合物、聚合、自组装、复杂流体、微乳液、表面科学、界面现象、催化、胶体、吸附、粘附、流变学、计算纳米科学和薄膜。更广泛的影响：拟议的讲习班有望在参与者之间发起个人和机构的合作。例如，我们已经知道，对高分子材料感兴趣的美国参与者（Shen, Radosz, Matyjaszewski）计划访问位于罗兹的波兰科学院大分子实验室和位于波兹南的Adam Mickiewicz大学大分子物理实验室，讨论未来的项目。那些对表面科学感兴趣的人（格宾斯和其他人）可能会参观克拉科夫催化和表面化学中心。其他与会者也计划对华沙和弗罗茨瓦夫进行类似的访问。这些访问可能产生的未来合作项目将丰富两国的研究和教育基础设施。

ABSTRACTInternational Group Travel: U.S.-Poland Workshop on Nanoscience and Nano-Structured Materials, Poznan, Poland, June 26-28, 2006This is a proposal to provide support for U.S. participants to attend a three day Workshop on Nanoscience and Nano-Structured Materials, to be held in Poznan, Poland on June 26-28, 2006, at the Adam Mickiewicz University. The purpose of the Workshop is to encourage closer scientific contacts and longer term scientific collaboration between researchers in this area between the U.S. and Poland. There will be a balance between junior, mid-career, and senior researchers, and with similar or complementary research interests on the two sides. The Workshop participants will represent a broad spectrum of nanoscience and engineering interests, for example, soft materials, bio-materials, polymers, polymerization, self assembly, complex fluids, microemulsions, surface science, interfacial phenomena, catalysis, colloids, adsorption, adhension, rheology, computational nanoscience, and thin films.Broader impact: The proposed workshop is expected to initiate individual and institutional collaboration among the participants. For example, we already know that the US participants interested in polymeric materials (Shen, Radosz, Matyjaszewski) plan to visit the Macromolecular Laboratory of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Lodz and the Macromolecular Physics Laboratory of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan to discuss future projects. Those interested in surface science (Gubbins and others) will likely visit the Cracow center of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry. Similar visits to Warsaw and Wroclaw are planned for the other participants. Future collaborative projects that are likely to result from such visits will enrich the research and education infrastructure of both countries.
