ACS Symposium on Emulsions, Bubbles and Foams: Fundamentals and Applications, New Orleans, Louisiana, April 7th - 11th, 2013

1219323PI: LeeFunds将用于组织2013年ACS研讨会？乳剂、气泡和泡沫：基础和应用？于2013年4月7日至11日在洛杉矶新奥尔良举行的美国化学学会（ACS）春季会议上，通过ACS胶体和表面化学部门，并部分支持与会者的旅费。乳剂、气泡和泡沫是多相系统，在生物医药、食品、化妆品、制药和可再生能源等领域有着广泛的应用。研讨会的目的是汇集科学家和工程师从基础和应用的角度研究这些系统。这些系统本质上是复杂的；因此，基于这些材料的新产品的开发可以从基本的理解和见解中受益匪浅。国家科学基金会的支持将用于学术界和工业界参与者的旅费。第245届ACS全国会议的计划主题是能源和食品化学，这使得这次会议特别适合举办拟议的研讨会。乳液、气泡和泡沫是多相系统，构成了学术界研究和工业商业化的重要材料类别。然而，最近只有有限数量的会议、专题讨论会和讲习班与乳剂、气泡和泡沫有关。通过本次研讨会，全球乳剂和气泡/泡沫社区将有一个独特的互动机会。在其职业生涯的各个阶段和不同背景的参与者，特别是来自学术界和工业界的参与者，将通过提供部分财政支持来鼓励他们参加。

1219323PI: LeeFunds will be used to organize a 2013 ACS symposium titled ?Emulsions, Bubbles and Foams: Fundamentals and Applications? for the Spring American Chemical Society (ACS) Meeting in New Orleans, LA through the ACS Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, April 7th to 11th, 2013 and to partially support travel costs of participants. Emulsions, bubbles and foams are multiphase systems that have a broad range of applications in biomedicine, food, cosmetics, pharmaceutics, and renewable energy. The objective of the symposium is to bring together scientists and engineers studying these systems from both fundamentals and applications points of view. These systems are complex in nature; thus, development of new products based on these materials could significantly benefit from fundamental understanding and insights. The NSF support will be used towards the travel costs of participants from academia and industry. The program theme of the 245th ACS National Meeting is Chemistry of Energy and Food, making this meeting particularly well suited to host the proposed symposium.Emulsions, bubbles and foams are multiphase systems that make up important classes of materials that are studied in academia and commercialized by industry. However, only a limited number of conferences, symposia, and workshops related to emulsions, bubbles and foams have been offered recently. Through this proposed symposium, the global emulsion and bubble/foam communities will have a unique opportunity to interact. Participants in all stages of their career and of diverse backgrounds, especially those from academia and industry, will be encouraged to participate by offering partial financial support.
