2010 Colloidal, Macromolecular & Polyelectrolyte Solutions Gordon Research Conference

请walkerfunds增加参加2010年胶体、大分子和聚电解质溶液戈登研究会议的人数。本次会议将于2010年2月举行，将汇集不同群体的研究人员就复杂流体动力学的主题交换意见；与高分子和胶体科学的更大领域相关的主题。拟议活动的智力价值：生物技术、纳米技术、能源和软材料方面的研究和技术革命激发了人们对复杂流体和界面科学的极大兴趣。戈登胶体、大分子和聚电解质解决方案研究会议探讨了带电、大分子和胶体系统及其界面的复杂溶液的研究前沿。这次会议有很强的跨学科传统，汇集了材料科学家、工程师、物理学家和化学家。会议吸引了工业界、政府和学术界的科学家参加一系列令人兴奋的演讲和讨论。该计划强调了胶体，大分子和多电解质溶液对材料的令人兴奋的影响，特别强调了这些系统的动力学。会议将展示胶体、聚合物和聚电解质领域顶尖研究人员的最新令人兴奋的成果。本课程将讨论这些领域的基本问题，以及如何将这些问题应用于其他相关学科。这些基本思想对配方、电池设计、芯片实验室开发、材料设计和生物分子分离等领域的具体应用的影响将通过特定的演讲者和工业科学家的参与来强调。提议活动的更广泛影响：与所有戈登研究会议一样，本次会议旨在聚集该领域的人员，促进他们之间以及与年轻研究人员（特别是相关学科的研究生和博士后研究人员）之间的互动，以努力在该领域产生新的想法。因此，设计了一个类似于GRC理念的静修氛围，其主要产品是在整个社区中总结和传播思想。更广泛的社区包括化学、物理、工程和材料科学领域的科学家和研究人员；来自学术界和工业界的与会者将确保讨论范围从基础到实际。没有正式的出版物，只有现场和会后的学术交流。2010年会议的议程包括女性、非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔发言者以及讨论领袖的大量代表。组织者将努力确保在会议参与者的选择过程中，构建一个多元化的受众群体。

0962741WalkerFunds are requested to enhance attendance at the 2010 Colloidal, Macromolecular & Polyelectrolyte Solutions Gordon Research Conference. This conference, which will be held in February 2010, will bring together a diverse group of researchers to exchange ideas on the topic of dynamics in complex fluids; a topic relevant to the larger fields of polymer and colloid science. Intellectual Merit of the proposed activity: The research and technology revolutions in biotechnology, nanotechnology, energy and soft materials have spurred great interest in complex fluids and interfacial science. The Gordon Research Conference on Colloidal, Macromolecular & Polyelectrolyte Solutions explores the frontiers of research about complex solutions of charged, macromolecular and colloidal systems and their interfaces. This conference has a strong interdisciplinary tradition bringing together materials scientists, engineers, physicists, and chemists. The conference attracts industrial, government and academic scientists to a stimulating set of presentations and discussions. The program highlights the exciting impact of colloidal, macromolecular and polyelectrolyte solutions on materials, with specific emphasis on the dynamics of these systems. The conference will present the latest exciting results of top researchers in the colloid, polymer and polyelectrolyte fields. Fundamental problems within these fields and how these apply to the other relevant disciplines will be discussed. The impact of these fundamental ideas on specific applications in areas such as formulation, battery design, lab-on-a-chip development, materials design and separation of biomolecules will be highlighted through specific speakers and involvement of industrial scientists.Broader Impacts of the proposed activity: This conference seeks, as do all Gordon Research Conferences, to gather people in the field and foster interaction between them and with younger researchers (specifically, graduate students and post doctoral researchers in relevant disciplines), in an effort to generate new ideas in this field. Accordingly, a retreat like atmosphere is designed, consistent with GRC philosophy, and its principal product is the summary and dispersal of ideas across the community. The broader community includes scientists and researchers in chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science; participants from both academia and industry will ensure that discussions range from fundamental through practical. There are no formal publications, only collegial exchanges on site and afterward. The program for the 2010 meeting includes a strong representation of female, African American and Hispanic speakers and discussion leaders. The organizers will strive to ensure that during the selection of participants to the meeting, a diverse audience will be constructed.
