2010 Electronic Processes in Organic Materials Gordon Research Conference; Mount Holyoke College; South Hadley, MA; July 25-30, 2010

戈登“有机材料中的电子过程”研究会议由固态和材料化学（SSMC）以及电子和光子学（EPM）项目支持，为与学术界，政府和工业界的领先科学家深入讨论变革发展提供了理想的环境。自从七十年代末发现导电聚合物和八十年代末发现基于小有机分子或聚合物的高效电致发光器件以来，有机电子学和光子学领域取得了巨大的进展。到2015年，有机电子产品市场预计将超过300亿美元。不同的会议将致力于化学、物理、生物、材料科学、光学科学、纳米科学、工程以及电活性和光活性有机材料的器件制造。该会议一直在该领域重要的新方向的尖端举办演讲。会议推动了有机光电子、聚合物发光二极管、单分子研究、有机电子和有机太阳能电池等领域发展的关键阶段的进展。非技术重点研究人员将通过演讲和非正式讨论的结合来解决关键问题。受邀的演讲者和会议主席代表了有机材料领域的高度跨学科性质，来自化学，物理，材料科学与工程，化学工程和电气工程的专家采用实验和理论方法。演讲者和会议主席来自不同的背景，其中7位来自美国以外，4位是女性。该基金申请的主要目标是帮助处于职业生涯早期阶段的研究人员（学生，博士后研究人员和/或新教师）参加会议并加入“有机材料中的电子过程”社区。会议将通过激发该领域前沿的目标和想法来加强他们的研究计划和建议。与此同时，会议的亲密气氛将使他们有更多的机会在社区内展示他们的工作，并建立重要的联系。

TECHNICALThis Gordon Research Conference on "Electronic Processes in Organic Materials" is supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry (SSMC) and Electronic and Photonics (EPM) programs and provides an ideal setting to discuss in depth transformative developments with leading scientists from academia, government, and industry. The field of organic electronics and photonics has enjoyed tremendous progress since the discoveries in the late seventies of conducting polymers and in the late eighties of efficient electroluminescent devices based on small organic molecules or polymers. The market for organic electronics-based products is now projected to reach over $30 billion by 2015. Various sessions will be devoted to the chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, optical science, nanoscience, engineering, and device fabrication of electrically-active and optically-active organic materials. This conference has consistently hosted presentations at the cusp of important new directions for the field. Meetings have driven progress at critical stages of developments in areas including organic opto-electronics, polymer light-emitting diodes, single-molecule studies, organic electronics, and organic solar cells.NON TECHNICALKey researchers will be present to address the critical questions through a combination of presentations and informal discussions. Invited speakers and session chairs represent the highly interdisciplinary nature of the Organic Materials field with experts from chemistry, physics, material science and engineering, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering with both experimental and theoretical approaches. Speakers and sessions chairs are from a diverse background, including 7 from outside US and 4 female. A primary goal of this funding request is to assist researchers in the early stages of their careers (students, postdoctoral researchers, and/or new faculty) to participate in the conference and join the "Electronic Processes in Organic Materials" community. The conference will enhance their research programs and proposals by inspiring goals and ideas at the leading edge of the field. At the same time, the intimate atmosphere of the conference will allow them to have more exposure of their work within the community and make important connections.
