This Workshop, supported by the Division of Materials Research and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, isfocused on providing broad guidance on future directions in polymer science, engineering, and education.INTELLECTUAL MERIT: Given the major developments in scientific research inpolymers and the simultaneous evolution of the polymer industry in the 10 yearsfollowing the last NSF Workshop on Interdisciplinary Macromolecular Science andEngineering, it is essential and timely that a new workshop be held now to identify and update specific science and engineering research opportunities and strategies. At the same time, reflecting the increasing globalization of science and technology, it is essential toexamine the polymer field under this light and to identify opportunities and challenges in terms of education and international competitiveness. For this purpose, a two-dayworkshop will be held at NSF headquarters with the participation of leading scientists,engineers, and educators from academia, industry, and national laboratories. Thisworkshop is to tbe organized by a committee of six individuals representing very broadacademic and industiral perspectives and having expertise across the polymer field and itsinterfaces with areas such as physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, andexngineering. The following six topics have been identified for study and discussionamong the workshop participants: (1) Polymer synthesis and new polymeric materials,(2) Design and manipulation of complex polymer systems, (3) Computational modelingand theory, (4) Processing and assembly, (5) Characterizatin and properties, and (6)Polymer technology in the service of society. Education and competitiveness will bewoven into each of these themes and throughout the workshop. In addition to the sixsubgroups fo 6 to 10 particpants to discuss each of the above topics, the workshop willbegin with seven plenary speakers on issues of major importance and timeliness. Thesewill include hiearchical functional materials, polumers in biology and medicine, energyproduction and storage, environmental and sustainability, cyberscience and polymers, and global security.BROADER IMPACTS: Emphasis on educaton and international competitiveness willbe given throughout the workshop and will also be the subject of a panel discussion on the first day. The workshop will create a web site that will be used as a tool to solicitinput and suggestions on these topics from the polymer community and to provideinformation about workshop organization, schedule, and (evenutally) conclusions.Participants in the workshop will reflect a wide diversity and include leading senior and junior academic researchers, polyer educators, members of industry and governmentlaboraties to ensure that the conclustions of this workshop are broadly applicable acrosspolymer research and education. A few selected graduate students (to be included asassistants) will also benefit from this unique experience. Following the workshop, the organizing committee will report to NSF on the recommendations fo the entire group, andwill subsequently publish a final report. The report will address key new research andeducation directions, as well as the changing industrial needs and global context ofpolymer research. The resulting report will be broadly disseminated through publicationin print and on the Internet and is expected to influence the global polymer science and engineering community. Major interest for this workshop has been expressed by manyother Federal Agencies, which are expected to participate and co-sponsor it.

该研讨会得到了材料研究部和数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室的支持，专注于在聚合物科学，工程和教育的未来方向上提供广泛的指导。科学研究在10年中，在跨学科大分子科学和工程学的最后一个NSF研讨会上，聚合物行业的同时进化是至关重要的，现在必须及时举办一个新的研讨会，以识别和更新特定的科学和工程研究机会和战略。 同时，反映了科学和技术的全球化日益增加，在这一光明下，对聚合物领域的研究至关重要，并在教育和国际竞争力方面确定机遇和挑战。 为此，将在NSF总部举行为期两天的工厂，由学术界，工业和国家实验室的领先科学家，工程师和教育工作者参与。 这个工作室将由一个由六个人组成的委员会组织，这些委员会代表着非常广泛的和自动化的观点，并在聚合物领域及其区域具有专业知识，该领域具有物理，化学，化学，生物学，材料科学和兴奋性的领域。 已经确定了以下六个主题进行研究和讨论研讨会的参与者：（1）聚合物合成和新的聚合物材料，（2）复杂聚合物系统的设计和操纵，（3）计算模型和理论，（4）处理和加工和组装，（4） （5）特征和属性，以及（6）社会服务中的聚合物技术。 教育和竞争力将使这些主题和整个研讨会中的每个主题都陷入困境。 除了6至10个专注于上述主题的SixSubGroups fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo thement和及时性的问题。 这些意愿包括Hiearchical功能材料，生物学和医学上的果实，能源生产和存储，环境与可持续性，网络科学和聚合物以及全球安全性。BROADER的影响：强调在整个工作室中对教育和国际竞争力的强调，也将成为一个主题，也将成为一个主题小组讨论第一天。 该研讨会将创建一个网站，该网站将被用作征求聚合物社区的这些主题的工具，并提供有关研讨会组织，时间表和（甚至是）结论的信息。研讨会中的参与者将反映出广泛的多样性和多样性和包括领先的高级和初级学术研究人员，Polyer教育者，工业和政府策略成员，以确保本研讨会的结论在跨聚合物研究和教育中广泛适用。 一些选定的研究生（包括助手）也将从这种独特的经历中受益。 在研讨会之后，组织委员会将向NSF报告整个小组的建议，并将随后发布最终报告。 该报告将解决关键的新研究和教育方向，以及不断变化的工业需求和聚合物研究的全球背景。 最终的报告将通过出版印刷和互联网广泛传播，并有望影响全球聚合物科学和工程界。 许多其他联邦机构都表达了该研讨会的主要兴趣，预计将参加并共同赞助它。
