Student Travel Support to 3D Printing of Polymeric Composites & Hybrid Systems Symposium at American Chemical Society National Meeting; San Diego, California; March 20-24, 2022

该奖项为学生、博士后和年轻教师提供旅费支持，以参加2022年3月20日至24日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的春季美国化学学会（ACS）全国会议上的“聚合物复合材料和混合系统3D打印”研讨会。研讨会的重点是聚合物加工、复合材料和混合系统以及增材制造领域的新研究。学生们通过口头和海报的形式向聚合物加工、先进制造和更广泛的工程界展示他们最新的研究成果。优先考虑女性或来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生和年轻教师参与者。这种方法在短期内促进了会议的多元化参与，在长期内促进了STEM领域的多元化参与。该奖项通过培养熟练和多样化的制造业劳动力使国家受益，这些劳动力为他们所选择领域的挑战提供变革性解决方案做好了更好的准备。参加者的支持有助学生的专业及科技发展。参加会议的学生和年轻教师可以通过参加国内和国际领先演讲者的几次技术和专业发展讲座，对聚合物加工，复合材料和混合系统，增材制造和工程专业以及各自领域的最新研究有更广泛的了解。研讨会将特别讨论可持续性、回收和再制造。它还将讨论3D打印策略，以减少聚合物浪费。学生通过口头和海报展示，与同行深入讨论他们的工作，提高他们的沟通技巧。这种互动体验极大地拓宽了学生的教育，增加了他们对研究课题的热情，使他们熟悉对科学事业的期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新方法。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。

This award provides travel support for students, post-docs and young faculty to attend and participate in the Symposium on "3D Printing of Polymeric Composites and Hybrid Systems " at the Spring American Chemical Society (ACS) national meeting in San Diego, CA, in March 20-24, 2022. The symposium focuses on new research in the field of polymer processing, composite and hybrid systems and additive manufacturing. The students present through oral and poster sessions their latest research results to the polymer processing, advanced manufacturing and broader engineering communities. Priority is given to student and young faculty participants who are women or who come from underrepresented minority groups. This approach promotes diverse participation at the conference, in the short term, and in STEM fields, in the long term. This award benefits the nation through the education of a skilled and diverse manufacturing workforce, which is better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges in their chosen fields.This participant support is expected to benefit the students' professional, scientific and technical development. Attendance at the conference gives the students and young faculty a broader view of the polymer processing, composite and hybrid systems, additive manufacturing and engineering profession and of state-of-the-art research in their fields via access to several technical and professional development talks by leading domestic and international speakers. In particular, the symposium will discuss sustainability, recycling and remanufacturing. It will also discuss 3D printing strategies to mitigate polymer waste. Students enhance their communication skills through oral and poster presentations, in-depth discussions of their work with peers in their fields. This interactive experience significantly broadens student education, increases their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaints them with expectations for scientific careers, and exposes them to new approaches for innovative research.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.
