CBET-0813521WardInternational travel support is requested for U.S. academic participants to attend the Tenth International Conference on Inorganic Membranes (ICIM 10), which will be held in Tokyo, Japan, August 18-22, 2008. The Conference brings together inorganic membrane researchers from around the world to present and discuss their results on the science and technology of inorganic membranes. The conference includes an extensive program of platform presentations, as well as poster sessions and plenary speakers. Papers address the synthesis, characterization, theory and application of a wide range of inorganic membranes, including zeolite, metallic, carbon-based, proton and ion-conducting ceramic, and inorganic-organic hybrids. This conference is a worldwide gathering focused on inorganic membranes, and is held every two years, normally alternating between the U.S., Europe and Asia. For this meeting, papers will be published via a CD-ROM. Although the research activity in the U.S. in inorganic membranes has been growing steadily for more than a decade, there is also impressive growth in inorganic membrane research and development in Europe and Asia. A strong representation of U.S. researchers at the Conference is useful in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in the many important areas of inorganic membrane technology. Some the key technology areas addressed by inorganic membrane technology include oxygen and hydrogen separations, both of which are critical to new energy technologies, solid oxide fuel cell electrolyte membranes, and novel membrane reactor concepts. It is expected that there will be approximately 15 U.S. academic participants, with a similar number coming from industry and national labs. The total number of participants is expected to be around 300, with probably 30-40 from the U.S., 60-80 from Europe and the remaining 180-210 from Japan, China, Australia and the other Asian countries. This grant will support roughly 30% of anticipated travel costs for the qualified U.S. academic participants and may provide for additional international collaborative opportunities.

CBET-0813521Ward 请求美国学术参与者参加第十届无机膜国际会议 (ICIM 10) 的国际旅行支持，该会议将于 2008 年 8 月 18 日至 22 日在日本东京举行。该会议汇集了来自世界各地的无机膜研究人员世界各地展示和讨论他们在无机膜科学和技术方面的成果。会议包括广泛的平台演讲、海报会议和全体演讲嘉宾。论文涉及各种无机膜的合成、表征、理论和应用，包括沸石、金属、碳基、质子和离子传导陶瓷以及无机-有机混合物。该会议是一次专注于无机膜的全球性聚会，每两年举行一次，通常在美国、欧洲和亚洲轮流举行。本次会议的论文将通过光盘出版。尽管美国在无机膜方面的研究活动十多年来一直稳步增长，但欧洲和亚洲的无机膜研究和开发也取得了令人瞩目的增长。美国研究人员在会议上的强势代表有助于保持美国在无机膜技术许多重要领域的竞争力。无机膜技术涉及的一些关键技术领域包括氧气和氢气的分离，这两者对于新能源技术、固体氧化物燃料电池电解质膜和新型膜反应器概念都至关重要。预计将有大约 15 名美国学术参与者，以及来自工业界和国家实验室的类似人数。预计参与者总数约为300人，其中大概有30-40人来自美国，60-80人来自欧洲，其余180-210人来自日本、中国、澳大利亚和其他亚洲国家。这笔赠款将为合格的美国学术参与者提供大约 30% 的预期旅行费用，并可能提供额外的国际合作机会。
