Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research Symposium: An Interdisciplinary and International Forum for Future Leaders in Polymeric Materials

技术和非技术摘要主办方提议在2014年3月ACS高分子化学部和ACS年轻化学家委员会的会议上举办一个面向跨学科研究生的两个半天的研讨会。该研讨会旨在表彰从事聚合物研究的优秀研究生，促进基础科学交流，建立网络，并帮助发展聚合物科学和工程未来领导者的职业生涯。美国和加拿大的大学部门被邀请提名一名优秀的研究生在这个特别的研讨会上发言。组委会选出的研究报告将涵盖聚合物科学与工程领域的跨学科主题，包括新型合成策略、结构/性能评估以及快速新兴技术的性能。

TECHNICAL AND NONTECHNICAL ABSTRACTThe organizers propose an interdisciplinary graduate student oriented two half-day symposium at the March 2014 meeting of the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry and the ACS younger Chemists Committee. The symposium is intended to provide recognition of outstanding graduate students engaged in polymer research, to foster fundamental scientific exchange, networking, and to help develop the careers of future leaders in polymer science and engineering. University departments in the US and Canada were invited to submit nominations for one outstanding graduate student each to speak on his/her's original research at this special symposium. Research presentations selected by the organizing committee will cover interdisciplinary topics in polymer science and engineering, encompassing novel synthetic strategies, structure/property evaluations and performance in rapidly emerging technologies.
