Project Description: United States-Japan Polymer Symposium: Macromolecules: "Challenges and Opportunities for the 21st Century"

技术和非技术摘要：申请7000美元的资金，用于美国-日本聚合物研讨会：“高分子：21世纪世纪的挑战和机遇”的16位演讲者的差旅费和会议相关地面交通，该研讨会将于2019年6月18日至21日在斯坦福大学举行。该请求包括对设施使用的部分支持。研讨会的目标是涵盖控制聚合物结构和理解结构性能关系的最新发展，以实现新型大分子设计和精确控制材料性能和功能。将有34位演讲者（16位美国人，17位日本人），其中一半是各自领域的世界领导者，另一半是年轻的后起之秀。预计总共有50名与会者，计划中的少量人数旨在确保严格的互动。该奖项反映了NSF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。

TECHNICAL AND NONTECHNICAL ABSTRACT:Funds in the amount of $7000 are requested towards the travel expenses and conference related ground transportation uses for sixteen US based speakers at the United States-Japan Polymer Symposium: "Macromolecules: Challenges and Opportunities for the 21st Century", to be held June 18-21, 2019 at Stanford University. The request includes part-support for facility usage. The goal of the symposium is to cover state-of-the-art developments in controlling polymer structures and understanding structure property relationships to achieve novel macromolecular designs and precisely controlled materials properties and functions. There will be 34 speakers (16-US, 17-Japan) half among them world leaders in their fields and the other half younger rising stars. A total attendee of 50 is anticipated,the planned small number intended to ensure rigorous interactions.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.
