2015 Science of Adhesion Gordon Research Conference & Gordon Research Seminar

 描述（由申请人提供）：戈登研究会议（以及最近的附属戈登研究研讨会）每两年举办一次关于粘附科学的社区，该社区对界面和表面现象具有专业知识和兴趣，重点是结构与化学之间的关系，以及界面机械性能。2015年关于粘附科学的GRC/GRS将专注于当前和未来感兴趣的两个（相关）领域：软/顺应性材料的粘附和表面特性，以及粘附科学在从单个分子到组织的生物材料中的应用。2015年GRC/GRS关于粘附科学的重点的后半部分与NIBIB的几个计划领域（http：//www.nibib.nih.gov/research/scientific-program-areas）密切相关，如“生物材料”、“数学建模、模拟和分析”、“微生物力学”和“植入式医疗器械的集成”。在过去的十年中，生物粘附问题已经成为粘附科学界的一个常规和不断增长的部分。GRC/GRS代表了促进生物学和生物工程与粘附科学社区之间合作的机会，这是其他GRC无法提供的。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (and, more recently, the affiliated Gordon Research Seminar) on the Science of Adhesion bring together every two years a community with expertize and interests in interfacial and surface phenomena, with an emphasis on the relationship between structure & chemistry, and interfacial mechanical properties. The 2015 GRC/GRS on the Science of Adhesion will focus on two (related) areas of strong current and future interest: adhesion and surface properties of soft/compliant materials, and application of adhesion science to biomaterials ranging in scale from individual molecules to tissues. The latter part of the focus of the 2015 GRC/GRS on Science of Adhesion relates closely to several of NIBIB program areas (http://www.nibib.nih.gov/research/scientific-program-areas), such as "Biomaterials", "Mathematical Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis", "Micro-Biomechanics", and "Integration of Implantable Medical Devices". Over the last decade, biological adhesion problems have become a regular and growing part of the Adhesion Science community. The GRC/GRS represents an opportunity to promote collaboration between the biology & bioengineering and the adhesion science communities that no other GRC provides.
