TECHNICAL AND NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACTThe 44th International Symposium on Macromolecules (MACRO 2012) ? IUPAC World Polymer Congress: Enabling Technologies for a Safe, Sustainable, and Healthy World, co-supported by the NSF Divisions of Materials Research and Chemistry, will provide an international forum for leading scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and government to discuss multidisciplinary technologies that bridge emerging boundaries of macromolecular science and engineering. This prestigious conference rotates biannually around the globe; previous USA conferences were held at the University of Akron (1994) and UMass-Amherst (1982). The 2012 MACRO World Polymer Congress is envisioned as an integrated scientific and educational forum for the most recent advances in polymer science and engineering, and the meeting subtitle focuses experts in diverse fields to address technologies of national importance over a range of disciplines. Such an international and interdisciplinary forum will facilitate collaborations and mutual understanding necessary to catalyze breakthrough polymer-based material solutions from the molecular to the device level. The objectives of the 2012 MACRO World Polymer Congress include (1) dissemination of the most recent advances in polymer science and engineering, (2) education across multiple disciplines, (3) cultivation of collaborations across diverse disciplines, and (4) formation of international professional networks. The Congress will consist of eleven symposia on: Recent Developments in Synthesis, Modern Methods in Characterization, Complex Macromolecular Systems, Surfaces and Interfaces, Macromolecules and Nanotechnology, Macromolecules in Biotechnology and Medicine, Energy, Optics, and Optoelectronics, Sustainability Science and Engineering, Commercial Frontiers, Advances in Interdisciplinary Interactions, and Polymer Physics. Poster sessions in concert with instrument exhibitors will provide additional non-invited contributions with an emphasis on presentations from graduate students.The symposium topics are relevant to the scientific community in the USA. Each symposium will include a discussion leader from a US university or company, one or more international co-chair(s), and 30 invited research lectures in the discipline. Each symposium will also welcome contributed lectures (approximately 30 each, totally 60) and contributed posters (4 sessions with 150 posters approximately in total). Invited speakers are recognized as leaders in their fields and will deliver focused lectures with broad scientific appeal. Special attention was devoted to the development of a diverse program including under-represented groups, leading universities from across the nation, international participation, and demonstrated innovation across disciplines. Two morning plenary lectures will convene the entire conference registrants for perspectives on themes of global importance (11 plenary speakers in total including 2 Nobel Laureates).

技术和非技术摘要第​​ 44 届国际高分子研讨会（MACRO 2012）？ IUPAC 世界聚合物大会：实现安全、可持续和健康世界的技术，由 NSF 材料研究和化学部门共同支持，将为来自学术界、工业界和政府的领先科学家和工程师提供一个国际论坛，讨论多学科问题弥合高分子科学与工程新兴边界的技术。这个享有盛誉的会议每两年在全球轮流举办一次；之前的美国会议在阿克伦大学（1994 年）和麻省大学阿默斯特分校（1982 年）举行。 2012 年 MACRO 世界聚合物大会被设想为一个综合性科学和教育论坛，展示聚合物科学与工程的最新进展，会议副标题聚焦于不同领域的专家，讨论一系列学科中具有国家重要性的技术。这样的国际跨学科论坛将促进必要的合作和相互理解，以促进从分子到设备水平的突破性聚合物材料解决方案。 2012 MACRO 世界聚合物大会的目标包括 (1) 传播聚合物科学与工程的最新进展，(2) 跨学科教育，(3) 培养跨学科合作，以及 (4) 形成国际学术联盟专业网络。大会将由十一个研讨会组成：合成的最新进展、表征的现代方法、复杂大分子系统、表面和界面、大分子和纳米技术、生物技术和医学中的大分子、能源、光学和光电子学、可持续发展科学与工程、商业跨学科相互作用的前沿、进展和高分子物理学。与仪器参展商合作的海报会议将提供额外的非邀请贡献，重点是研究生的演讲。研讨会主题与美国科学界相关。每次研讨会将包括一名来自美国大学或公司的讨论主持人、一名或多名国际联合主席以及 30 场该学科的特邀研究讲座。每场研讨会还欢迎投稿讲座（每场约30场，共60张）和墙报投稿（4场，共150张墙报）。受邀演讲者被公认为各自领域的领导者，并将发表具有广泛科学吸引力的重点讲座。特别关注多元化项目的发展，包括代表性不足的群体、全国领先的大学、国际参与以及跨学科的创新。上午的两场全体会议将召集所有会议注册者就具有全球重要性的主题发表观点（共有 11 名全体会议发言人，其中包括 2 名诺贝尔奖获得者）。
