2020 Crystal Engineering GRC/GRS: Inspired Design, Assembly and Properties of Molecular Materials

第一部分：非技术总结晶体材料在社会中扮演着许多重要的角色，从医学到能源储存，从废物修复到可持续发展。开发新材料以满足21世纪的需求，需要具有不同背景的科学家的贡献，包括化学、物理、材料科学、计算机科学和工程。戈登晶体工程研究会议(GRC-CE)将汇聚晶体工程领域的领先和新兴科学家，在这里介绍和讨论最新研究可以帮助定义并适应未来的材料挑战。会议形式旨在鼓励老牌与会者和年轻与会者之间的重大互动，这对于促进开放的思想交流、促进合作和培养下一代人才至关重要。在材料研究部固态和材料化学与凝聚态物理项目的支持下，将为年轻参与者提供注册费和/或旅行支持，包括学生、博士后助理和初级教师。第二部分：晶体工程方面的技术总结需要了解晶体工程方面的知识和知识，以满足21世纪的先进材料需求。2020年GRC-CE的主题是“分子材料的灵感设计、组装和性能”，它将突出晶体工程领域的广度，因为它跨越了晶体设计和组装的基本主题，以及商业化的机会。会议项目包括来自不同领域(如学术界、国家实验室和工业界)的顶尖专家，以鼓励跨科学领域的新的多学科思维方式。与过去的GRC-CES一样，确保多样性将是最高优先事项，特别是在纳入妇女和其他代表性不足的群体方面。相关的戈登研究研讨会的主题是“第四维度的工程晶体：晶体结构变化的监测”，为研究生、博士后助理和其他具有类似经验和教育水平的科学家提供了一个论坛，以展示他们的结果，并参与有意义的科学讨论和专业发展。在材料研究部固态和材料化学及凝聚态物理项目的支持下，GRC-CE将聚集晶体工程主要和新兴领域的领先专家。知名科学家和下一代研究人员之间的高水平互动将有助于加强晶体工程界的思想交流，并培养下一代人才。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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 SUMMARYCrystalline materials play many important roles in society ranging from medicine to energy storage, and waste remediation to sustainability. The development of new materials to meet 21st Century needs requires the contribution of scientists with diverse backgrounds including chemistry, physics, materials science, computer science and engineering. The Gordon Research Conference on Crystal Engineering (GRC-CE) will bring together leading and emerging scientists in the crystal engineering field where the presentation and discussion of the latest research can serve to both define and align with the materials challenges of the future. The conference format is designed to encourage significant interactions between established and younger participants, which is critical to facilitating the open exchange of ideas, stimulating collaboration, and developing the next generation of talent. With support from the Solid State and Materials Chemistry and Condensed Matter Physics programs within the Division of Materials Research, registration fee and/or travel support will be provided for younger participants, including students, postdoctoral associates and junior faculty.PART 2: TECHNICAL SUMMARYKnowledge and understanding in crystal engineering is needed to develop the advanced materials needs of the 21st century. The 2020 GRC-CE, themed “Inspired Design, Assembly and Properties of Molecular Materials,” will highlight the breadth of the crystal engineering field as it spans fundamental topics of crystal design and assembly to opportunities for commercialization. The conference program includes leading experts who bring a variety of perspectives (e.g. academia, national laboratories and industry) to encourage new multidisciplinary ways of thinking across scientific fields. As with past GRC-CEs, ensuring diversity will be a top priority, particularly with respect to the inclusion of women and other underrepresented groups. The associated Gordon Research Seminar, themed “Engineering Crystals in the Fourth Dimension: Monitoring of Structural Changes in Crystals,” provides a forum for graduate students, post-doctoral associates, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present their results and engage in meaningful scientific discussions and professional development. With support from the Solid State and Materials Chemistry and Condensed Matter Physics programs within the Division of Materials Research, the GRC-CE will gather leading experts in the major and emerging areas of crystal engineering. A high level of interaction among established scientists and the next generation of researchers will help to enhance the exchange of ideas within the crystal engineering community and to develop the next generation of talent.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.
