TECHNICAL AND NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACT:This award provides partial support for two special sessions at the annual American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) meeting that will be focused on "Emerging Areas in Polymer Science and Engineering." The PIs have organized these sessions to highlight recent advances in polymer science, focused on experimental, theoretical, and simulation topics of interest to the broad polymer community. Each session will contain academic researchers from various stages in their careers discussing timely and important topics. Furthermore, these sessions will emphasize the breadth and depth of on-going and emerging polymer-related activities in the chemical engineering community. The sessions will take place during the 2012 Fall AIChE Meeting (October 28-November 2) in Pittsburgh, PA.The purpose of the two special sessions is to highlight new areas of polymer science and engineering, as well as to underscore emerging opportunities and unexplored themes in more established areas of polymer science. Though the talks cover an array of polymer science topics, the overall theme is the use of nanoscale engineering of polymer systems to manipulate materials structure, properties, and function. The combination of the talks in each session will highlight recent theoretical, simulation, and experimental advances in polymer science and engineering, providing an overview of several cutting-edge methodologies being employed to tackle key problems related to energy storage and generation, drug delivery, nanoscale templating, coatings, nanocomposites, and biomaterials. The speakers represent a diverse group of polymer scientists in terms of research topics, research methodology (experimental/theoretical/simulation) career status, gender, and ethnicity.

技术和非技术摘要：该奖项为美国化学工程师学院（AICHE）会议的两次特别会议提供了部分支持，该会议将集中在“聚合物科学与工程学的新兴地区”。 PI已经组织了这些课程，以突出聚合物科学的最新进展，重点是广泛聚合物社区的实验，理论和模拟主题。 每个课程都将包含来自职业各个阶段的学术研究人员，讨论及时，重要的主题。此外，这些课程将强调化学工程社区中持续和新兴聚合物活动的广度和深度。 会议将在2012年秋季AICHE会议（10月28日至11月2日）举行，这两个特殊会议的目的是突出聚合物科学和工程的新领域，以强调新兴的机会和在更既定的聚合物科学领域的新兴机会和未开发的主题。 尽管谈判涵盖了一系列聚合物科学主题，但总体主题是使用纳米级工程来操纵材料结构，属性和功能。 每次会议中谈判的结合将重点介绍聚合物科学和工程学的最新理论，模拟和实验进步，从而概述了使用几种尖端方法来解决与能源存储，药物输送，纳米级传递，纳米级，纳米级，涂料，涂料，纳米复合物和生物材料有关的关键问题。 在研究主题，研究方法论（实验/理论/模拟）职业地位，性别和种族方面，演讲者代表了多样化的聚合物科学家。
