Travel Support for Students to Attend the 9th National Graduate Research Polymer Conference: June 6-9, 2010, Chapel Hill, NC

技术方面：本提案为参加将于2010年6月6日至9日在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校举行的第九届全国研究生高分子研究会议的研究生提供旅行奖励。一些杰出的聚合物科学家已经接受了在会议上发言的邀请。组织者预计，来自全国各地的200名学生（以及教授、研究人员和行业代表），以及来自三角地区的50名参与者将来到北卡罗来纳大学教堂山校区，在四天的时间里分享研究成果，交流思想。研讨会主题包括生物相关材料、能源相关材料、光子学和电子学、聚合物表面、纳米结构材料以及表征/动力学/理论/建模。非技术：第九届NGRPC会议的一个主要目标是促进与教授，工业科学家/代表以及研究生之间的互动/网络。扩大参与的努力也将包括在内。计划有十个半天的口头会议和两个下午晚些时候的海报会议。本次会议将为与会者提供一个极好的机会，让他们了解最新的研究成果，并促进研究人员之间富有成效的讨论。

TECHNICAL:This proposal supports travel awards for graduate students to attend the 9th National Graduate Research Polymer Conference to be held at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (June 6 - 9, 2010, Chapel Hill, NC). A number of prominent polymer scientists have accepted the invitation to speak at the conference. The organizers anticipate 200 students (and professors, researchers and industry representatives) from across the country, as well as 50 participants from the Triangle area will come to UNC Chapel Hill campus for four days to share research results and exchange ideas. Symposium topics include biorelated materials, energy-related materials, photonics and electronics, polymer surfaces, nanostructured materials, and characterization/kinetics/theory/modeling. NON-TECHNICAL:A major goal for the 9th NGRPC meeting will be to foster the interaction/networking with professors, industrial scientists/representatives, as well as among graduate students. Efforts toward broadening participation will be included. Ten half-day oral sessions and two late afternoon poster sessions are planned. This conference will provide an excellent opportunity for the attendees to stay current with the state-of-the-art researches and to promote fruitful discussions among researchers.
