The 2008 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting will be held December 1-5 in Boston, Massachusetts. Forty-five (45) symposia will be the technical core of the meeting, among them the F08QQ Synthesis and Processing of Organic and Polymeric Functional Materials for a Sustainable Energy Economy Symposium. Photovoltaics and solid-state lighting are examples of technologies that are envisaged in a new sustainable energy economy since these technologies would enable us to use a renewable energy source and to use present energy sources more efficiently. This symposium will be the venue for discussing novel synthesis and processing methods to fabricate organic and functional polymeric materials. Session topics include synthesis of organic and functional polymers for low-dimensional and three-dimensional materials, novel methods for directed assembly and printing, synthesis of engineered polymers and materials for optimal photon-electron energy transfer, synthesis of novel architectures to optimize energy transfer across interfaces, new materials for optoelectronics and photovoltaics, "Green" synthesis and processing methods, and innovations in materials characterization This proposal requests travel support mainly for undergraduate/graduate students, post-docs and junior faculty to attend Symposium F08QQ.Intellectual Merit:The Materials Research Society has a longstanding tradition to provide an international forum where senior researchers from academia and industry and students can exchange and debate new ideas. The list of invited speakers includes several international experts on organic-based photovoltaics and solid state lighting. This symposium provides excellent opportunity to accelerate the progress of energy and sustainability-related scientific research, as well as a great educational opportunity for participating students. The organizers comprise an interdisciplinary international team that is well qualified to prepare and conduct the symposium. All of them are internationally recognized experts with strong track publication records. Funding for this symposium will be used to facilitate participation by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and young faculty through travel support.Broader Impacts:International symposiums are a highly effective means to exchange knowledge and advance science and engineering in an area of national importance. New materials for photovoltaics are expected to promote the diversification of energy resources whereas solid-state lighting will contribute to energy conservation, both goals of national interest.Bringing together researchers with different skills and backgrounds will facilitate knowledge leveraging and dissemination. Senior researchers will serve as role models to junior faculty and students. The 2008 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting will provide excellent educational opportunities for all participants in the form of several tutorials that are free of charge.

2008年材料研究协会秋季会议将于12月1日至5日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。四十五（45）个研讨会将是会议的技术核心，其中包括有机和聚合物功能材料的F08QQ合成和处理可持续能源经济专题讨论会。光伏和固态照明是在新的可持续能源经济中设想的技术的例子，因为这些技术将使我们能够使用可再生能源并更有效地使用当前的能源。该研讨会将是讨论新型合成和加工方法来制造有机和功能性聚合物材料的场所。 Session topics include synthesis of organic and functional polymers for low-dimensional and three-dimensional materials, novel methods for directed assembly and printing, synthesis of engineered polymers and materials for optimal photon-electron energy transfer, synthesis of novel architectures to optimize energy transfer across interfaces, new materials for optoelectronics and photovoltaics, "Green" synthesis and processing methods, and innovations in materials表征本提案要求主要针对本科/研究生，博士后和初级教职员工参加F08QQ的旅行支持。智能优点：材料研究协会具有长期的传统，可以提供一个国际论坛，在该论坛上，来自学术界和工业界的高级研究人员以及工业界以及学生可以交流和辩论新想法。受邀演讲者名单包括几位有关有机光伏和固态照明的国际专家。该研讨会为加速与能源和可持续性有关的科学研究的进步提供了绝佳的机会，并为参与学生提供了巨大的教育机会。组织者组成了一个跨学科的国际团队，有资格准备和进行研讨会。所有这些都是具有强大田径出版记录的国际知名专家。该研讨会的资金将用于通过旅行支持来促进研究生，博士后研究人员和年轻教师的参与。BROADER的影响：国际研讨会是在具有国家重要性领域交换知识和发展科学和工程的高效手段。预计光伏的新材料将促进能源资源的多样化，而固态照明将有助于节能，这两个目标都是国家兴趣的目标。将具有不同技能和背景的研究人员共同结合在一起，将促进知识的利用和传播。高级研究人员将成为初级教师和学生的榜样。 2008年材料研究协会秋季会议将以免费的几个教程的形式为所有参与者提供出色的教育机会。
