2018 Crystal Engineering: Progress in Crystal Engineering - Design, Properties, and Function

新材料的开发以满足社会的技术目标，与能源存储、废物修复、可持续性和医学等主题相关，这一点越来越重要。这些材料是由化学、物理、材料科学和工程等不同背景的科学家开发的。开发新材料的方法是由这些科学家组成的团队创造的，专家和年轻一代研究人员之间的互动不仅对促进合作至关重要，而且还为未来设定了方向。戈登晶体工程研究会议将汇集晶体工程领域的领先和新兴科学家，以实现演示，网络和重叠，这将有助于在不断变化的世界中应对未来材料的挑战，在这个世界中，基础设施和人员的成本是非常高的。美国国家科学基金会材料研究部（DMR）和工程部的材料工程与加工项目承认晶体工程戈登研究会议和相应的戈登研究研讨会的重要性，为一些年轻研究人员（包括学生和博士后）提供注册费和/或旅费支持。第二部分：技术总结2018晶体工程戈登研究会议，主题是？晶体工程的进展？设计、属性和功能？，致力于由该领域的专家了解和理解如何设计和控制分子和离子的组装以形成晶体。戈登研究研讨会，主题是？晶体工程中的应用与接口？，将为研究生、博士后和其他具有相当经验和教育水平的科学家提供一个论坛，以展示和交流晶体工程方面的新成果和前沿思想。在晶体工程的知识和理解需要开发先进的材料应用范围从磁性，储能，制药和化学合成。2018年的会议将突出晶体工程的广度，因为它涵盖了晶体设计的基本主题到商业化的机会。在NSF材料研究部（DMR）和工程局材料工程与加工项目的支持下，会议将聚集来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的顶尖科学家，他们代表了晶体工程的主要领域。科学家们将与下一代研究人员互动，以促进晶体工程社区更广泛的推广。在晶体材料的预测、工程、组装和应用方面的进展将由不同的专家小组来解决，以推动构建具有设计功能的定制材料的目标。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

PART 1: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYThe development of new materials to meet technological goals of society as related to topics that range from energy storage, waste remediation, sustainability, and medicine is increasingly important. Such materials are developed by scientists with diverse backgrounds including chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. Approaches to develop novel materials are created by teams of such scientists, where interactions between experts and younger generation researchers are critical to not only stimulate collaboration, but also set a course for the future. The Gordon Research Conference on Crystal Engineering will bring together leading and emerging scientists in Crystal Engineering to enable presentation, networking, and overlap that will serve to meet future materials challenges in a changing world where cost for infrastructure and personnel are at a premium. NSF's Division of Materials Research (DMR) and the Materials Engineering and Processing program in the Engineering Directorate acknowledge the importance of the Crystal Engineering Gordon Research Conference and corresponding Gordon Research Seminar by supporting stipends for registration fee and/or travel support for some young researchers, including students and postdoctoral researchers.PART 2: TECHNICAL SUMMARYThe 2018 Crystal Engineering Gordon Research Conference, themed ?Progress in Crystal Engineering ? Design, Properties, and Function?, is dedicated to knowledge and understanding by experts in the field on how to design and control the assembly of molecules and ions to form crystals. The Gordon Research Seminar, themed ?Applications and Interfaces in Crystal Engineering?, will provide a forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new results and cutting edge ideas in crystal engineering. Knowledge and understanding in crystal engineering is needed to develop advanced materials for applications ranging from magnetism, energy storage, pharmaceuticals, and chemical synthesis. The 2018 conference will highlight the breadth of crystal engineering as it spans fundamental topics of crystal design to opportunities for commercialization. The conference, with support from NSF's Division of Materials Research (DMR) and the Materials Engineering and Processing program in the Engineering Directorate, will gather leading scientists from academia, industry, and government labs that represent the major areas in crystal engineering. The scientists will interact with the next generation of researchers to promote broader outreach within the crystal engineering community. Progress in prediction, engineering, assembly, and application of crystalline materials will be addressed by a diverse group of experts to push forward the goal to construct tailor made materials with designed function.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
