The 2015 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Symposium (GRS) on the Science of Adhesion will bring together top scientists in the field of adhesion science, for in-depth technical discussions and collaboration. The expertise of the Adhesion Science community has contributed over the years to a number of areas, including structural adhesives such as those used in the automotive and aircraft industries, in metals, ceramics, and polymer composites. Two other areas where adhesion science has made major contributions are in pressure-sensitive adhesives (soft materials) and particle adhesion. In recent years, adhesion in soft active materials such as gels and elastomers, and in biological applications have emerged as two exciting new problems to which the adhesion science community is in a unique position to contribute. This award will support the GRC/GRS conference and seminar to bring together a diverse set of speakers and discussion leaders with a focus on soft/compliant materials, and biomaterials. NSF support will be used to increase and broaden participation among speakers, discussion leaders, and attendees from underrepresented group. The active participation and involvement of junior attendees (graduate students and post-doctoral associates) will be encouraged, particularly in the Gordon Research Seminar.The GRC/GRS on the Science of Adhesion will focus on two (related) areas of strong current and future interest: adhesion and surface properties of soft/compliant materials, and application of adhesion science to scientific problems in biomaterials ranging in scale from individual molecules to tissues. Over the last decade, soft materials and biological adhesion problems have become a regular and growing part of the Adhesion Science community. This GRC/GRS represents an opportunity to promote rejuvenation and growth of the adhesion science community by cementing further collaboration with biology & bioengineering and the science of soft materials. It will serve to incubate and catalyze research connections between analytical, experimental, computational methods of adhesion science and pressing problems in soft materials and biomaterials.

2015年戈登粘附科学研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究研讨会（GRS）将汇聚粘附科学领域的顶尖科学家，进行深入的技术讨论和合作。多年来，粘合科学界的专业知识为许多领域做出了贡献，包括结构粘合剂，例如用于汽车和飞机工业、金属、陶瓷和聚合物复合材料的结构粘合剂。粘合科学做出重大贡献的另外两个领域是压敏粘合剂（软材料）和颗粒粘合。近年来，凝胶和弹性体等软活性材料中的粘附以及生物应用中的粘附已成为两个令人兴奋的新问题，粘附科学界在解决这些问题方面处于独特的地位。该奖项将支持 GRC/GRS 会议和研讨会，汇集不同的演讲者和讨论领袖，重点关注软/合规材料和生物材料。 NSF 的支持将用于增加和扩大来自代表性不足群体的演讲者、讨论领导者和与会者的参与。将鼓励初级与会者（研究生和博士后）的积极参与和参与，特别是在戈登研究研讨会上。关于粘附科学的 GRC/GRS 将重点关注当前和未来的两个（相关）领域兴趣：软/柔顺材料的粘附和表面特性，以及粘附科学在生物材料科学问题中的应用，范围从单个分子到组织。在过去的十年中，软材料和生物粘附问题已成为粘附科学界的一个常见且不断增长的部分。此次 GRC/GRS 代表了一个机会，通过巩固与生物学和生物工程以及软材料科学的进一步合作，促进粘附科学界的复兴和发展。它将有助于孵化和促进粘合科学的分析、实验、计算方法与软材料和生物材料中紧迫问题之间的研究联系。
