Travel Support for Student and Speaker Participation at the Fifth International Conference on Self-Healing Materials; Duke University; Durham, North Carolina; June 22-24, 2015

该奖项支持研究生、博士后和年轻教师参加2015年6月22日至24日在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆举行的第五届自我修复材料国际会议（ICSHM）。ICSHM是一个两年一次的会议，专注于自我修复材料科学、工程和技术应用的进展。会议提供了一个知识传播的论坛，只关注自愈材料，将来自不同社区的代表聚集在一起，他们有共同的兴趣和挑战，但否则就不会经常混杂在一起。这种支持将通过鼓励来自传统上互不联系的科学和工程学科的年轻科学家的广泛参与产生重大影响。所有学生和博士后获得者都将出席会议，支持他们的专业发展。会议组织者将积极从传统上在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体中招募参与者。学生海报奖进一步鼓励学生积极参与。ICSHM2015的范围涵盖所有类别的自修复材料，包括聚合物，陶瓷，金属和复合材料，而生物灵感用于指导潜在的未来研究进展。该领域影响并代表了广泛的行业，包括航空航天、汽车、交通、微电子、建筑、电子、医药和制造业。ICSHM2015将向社区介绍新兴的自修复生物材料和生物医学植入物领域。扩大自愈策略可达到的长度尺度范围是一个新兴的趋势，关于自愈长度尺度的极端极端的专题讨论会将以大容量方法和真正的分子方法为特色，这些方法可以解决单个聚合物子链、界面和晶界的损伤。涵盖以下科学领域：防腐涂料和油漆；仿生材料;胶结材料;涂料；纤维增强复合材料；功能应用程序;材料特性;机械化学;金属材料;微血管系统;建模和数值分析；超分子聚合物;热塑性塑料/热固性材料;能量收集和储存；自我强化的凝胶;3D打印和自修复系统；扩大长度刻度范围；大容量修复；生物材料;在高温下自愈。

This award supports the participation of graduate students, postdocs, and young faculty presenters at the 5th International Conference on Self-Healing Materials (ICSHM), Durham, North Carolina, June 22-24, 2015. ICSHM is a biennial conference focusing on advances in self-healing materials science, engineering, and technological applications. The conference provides a forum for knowledge dissemination focused solely on self-healing materials, bringing together the representatives from different communities that share interests and challenges, but that would otherwise mix infrequently. This support will have a significant impact by encouraging broad participation of young scientists from traditionally disconnected science and engineering disciplines. All student and postdoctoral recipients will be expected to present at the meeting, supporting their professional development. The conference organizers will actively recruit participants from groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. Active participation is further encouraged by student poster awards.The scope of ICSHM2015 encompasses all classes of self-healing materials including polymers, ceramics, metals, and composites, while bio-inspiration serves to guide potential future research advances. A broad spectrum of industries are impacted and represented by the field including aerospace, automotive, transportation, microelectronics, architecture, electronics, medicine, and manufacturing. ICSHM2015 will introduce the community to the newly emerging field of self-healing biomaterials and biomedical implants. Expanding the range of length scales accessible by self-healing strategies is a new and emerging trend, and special symposia on the extreme ends of self-healing length scales will be featured: large-volume approaches and truly molecular approaches that address damage at the level of individual polymer sub-chains, interfaces, and grain boundaries. The following scientific areas are covered: Anticorrosion coatings and paints; Bio-inspired materials; Cementitious materials; Coatings & paints; Fiber-reinforced composite materials; Functional applications; Materials characterization; Mechanochemistry; Metallic materials; Microvascular systems; Modeling & numerical analysis; Supramolecular polymers; Thermoplastics/thermosets; Energy harvesting and storage; Self-reinforcing gels; 3D printing and self-healing systems; Expanding range of length scales; Large volume repair; Biomaterials; Self-healing at high temperatures.
