This proposal seeks funds for a travel grant program that will provide support for researchers to attend the Gordon Research Conference Membranes: Materials and Processes to be held July 25-30, 2010, Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH. This Gordon Conference will provide an opportunity for graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, academicians, and industrial and national laboratory researchers to congregate and discuss cutting edge technology and current research trends and to share mutual experiences while building informal networks with peers that may lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement. Over the past 10-15 years, there has been tremendous activity and interest in membrane science and technology, driven largely by advances in our ability to control and analyze complex structures at the nanoscale. Additionally, critical societal needs in the areas of energy, water, bioprocessing, and the environment are providing exciting new opportunities for membrane technologies. These include the development of new membrane for hydrogen/oxygen, direct methanol, and alkaline fuel cells, membrane separations for the purification of ethanol produced from cellulosic biomass, and membrane systems for carbon dioxide removal from gas streams. The Gordon Research Conference on membranes will have specific sessions on contemporary topics dealing with energy production and storage, membrane technologies for energy efficiency, nanomanufacturing, and membranes for water purification. The discussions between the speakers and audience will provide valuable feedback on current research efforts and will enable the participants to further develop and refine new ideas for their own research and/or to initiate new membrane projects. Gordon Research Conferences provide a setting where researchers can present their most recent and, at times, most controversial results. The conferences also foster informal discussions and networking that occur outside of the formal lecture sessions. Such interactions promote the generation of new ideas and new collaborations that assist in moving forward the field of membrane science.

该提案为一项旅行赠款计划寻求资金，该计划将为研究人员提供参加戈登研究会议膜的支持：将于2010年7月25日至30日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦Colby-Sawyer College举行的材料和过程。这次戈登会议将为研究生，博士后学者，院士以及工业和国家实验室研究人员提供机会，以聚集和讨论尖端技术和当前的研究趋势，并分享相互的研究趋势，同时与同伴建立非正式网络，这可能会导致一生的协作和科学成就。在过去的10 - 15年中，人们对膜科学和技术的活动和兴趣一直很大，这在很大程度上是由于我们控制和分析纳米级复杂结构的能力的进步。此外，能源，水，生物处理和环境方面的关键社会需求为膜技术提供了令人兴奋的新机会。其中包括开发用于氢/氧气的新膜，直接甲醇和碱性燃料电池，用于纯化纤维素生物量产生的乙醇的膜分离，以及用于从气流中除去二氧化碳的膜系统。戈登膜研究会议将在有关能源生产和存储的当代主题，膜技术，纳米制造和水纯化的膜上进行特定会议。演讲者和听众之间的讨论将为当前的研究工作提供有价值的反馈，并使参与者能够进一步发展和完善自己的研究和/或启动新膜项目的新想法。戈登研究会议提供了一个环境，研究人员可以在其中呈现其最新的，有时甚至是大多数有争议的结果。这些会议还促进了在正式讲座会议之外进行的非正式讨论和网络。这种互动促进了新的想法和新合作的产生，从而有助于前进膜科学领域。
