Plasma processing is a key technology in both well-established industries (semiconductor processing, LED lighting) and in emerging applications (pharmaceutical manufacturing, energy conversion technologies, agriculture). The common thread that runs through these manufacturing processes is the interaction between a plasma and the surface it modifies, with the range of surfaces under investigation by the plasma community continuously increasing in variety. Plasmas are now being used to process not only inorganic materials, but also polymers, biopolymers, living tissue, low-dimensional materials such as catalyst nanoparticles, liquids, and liquid droplets. The 2022 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS) will be held July 24-29, 2022, at the Proctor Academy, Andover, NH to provide a unique environment for scientists to discuss the unresolved issues in plasma-matter interaction. The meeting will bring together experts in all areas related to plasma processing science, covering theory, experimental methods, and advanced characterization techniques. The conference will bring together leaders in the field, early-career investigators including postdocs, and graduate students. While most of the talks will be given by invited speakers, selected contributions from attendees will be included in the program. The Gordon Research Seminar, which will take place immediately before the conference, will provide a venue for early career researchers to present and discuss their research. Gordon Conferences provide ample time for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, providing a constructive atmosphere for brainstorming and creative thinking among the attendees.The 2022 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS) “Plasmas and Their Interaction with Matter” consists of nine sessions covering a broad range of topics, from plasma-liquid interfaces to synthesis of novel materials and plasma-driven catalysis. While the conference theme is the same as 2018 GRC-PPS, only two of the sessions of the 2022 meeting overlap with those offered in 2018 – the choice to revisit these topics was motivated by the continued relevance of plasma-driven materials synthesis and rapidly increasing interest in plasma catalysis. The 2022 GRC-PPS will highlight that the range of surfaces under investigation by the plasma community is continuously increasing, providing new challenges and opportunities to this broad discipline. This conference will bring together experts in all aspects of plasma science, including theory, experimental methods, and advanced characterization techniques. This conference and the associated Gordon Research Seminar will provide an informal venue for discussing the most pressing scientific issues in plasma processing science, facilitating the exchange of ideas and establishing new collaborations. The societal contributions of plasma processing science emerged with the development of modern semiconductor device manufacturing etch processes, which in turn has enabled the information technology revolution. Plasma processing science now encompasses applications in energy storage and conversion, catalysis, medical treatment technologies, and biomass and polymer conversion processes, underscoring the potential positive impact of the GRC meeting on society. Moreover, representatives at all career stages, from recognized leaders to graduate students, will have an opportunity to share their insights into the most pressing issues in plasma science. International participants with affiliations beyond academia will actively contribute to this meeting. The conference organizers are committed to reaching out to potential participants from underrepresented groups. The program includes a Power Hour, designed to support the professional growth of women in the scientific community. Moreover, the GR Seminar will provide unique training, mentoring, and networking opportunities to early-stage researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

等离子体加工是成熟行业（半导体加工、LED 照明）和新兴应用（制药、能源转换技术、农业）的关键技术。贯穿这些制造过程的共同点是等离子体和等离子体之间的相互作用。随着等离子体界研究的表面范围不断增加，等离子体现在不仅用于处理无机材料，还用于处理聚合物、生物聚合物、活组织、低维材料，例如。 2022 年戈登等离子体加工科学研究会议 (GRC-PPS) 将于 2022 年 7 月 24 日至 29 日在新罕布什尔州安多佛普罗克特学院举行，为科学家们提供一个独特的讨论环境。会议将汇集等离子体处理科学相关领域的专家，涵盖理论、实验方法和先进表征技术。虽然大部分演讲将由受邀演讲者进行，但与会者的精选贡献将包含在即将举行的戈登研究研讨会中。会议之前，将为早期职业研究人员提供一个展示和讨论他们的研究的场所。戈登会议为下午和晚上的非正式聚会提供了样本时间，为与会者之间的头脑风暴和创造性思维提供了建设性的氛围。2022 年戈登会议研究会议等离子体加工科学（GRC-PPS）“等离子体及其与物质的相互作用”由九个会议组成，涵盖广泛的主题，从等离子体-液体界面到新型材料的合成和等离子体驱动的催化，而会议主题是相同的。与 2018 年 GRC-PPS 一样，2022 年会议中只有两场会议与 2018 年举行的会议重叠——选择重新审视这些主题的动机是等离子体驱动材料合成和2022 年 GRC-PPS 将强调等离子体界正在研究的表面范围不断增加，为这一快速发展的学科提供了新的挑战和机遇。 ，包括理论、实验方法和先进的表征技术，本次会议和相关的戈登研究研讨会将为讨论等离子体处理科学中最紧迫的科学问题、促进思想交流和建立新的社会贡献提供一个非正式的场所。等离子体处理科学的出现随着现代半导体器件制造蚀刻工艺的发展，等离子体处理科学现在涵盖了能量存储和转换、催化、医疗技术以及生物质和聚合物转化过程中的应用，凸显了潜在的积极作用。此外，各个职业阶段的代表，从知名领导者到研究生，都将有机会分享他们对血浆科学领域最紧迫问题的见解，学术界以外的国际参与者将积极做出贡献。这次会议。会议组织者致力于接触来自代表性不足群体的潜在参与者，该计划包括旨在支持科学界女性职业发展的 Power Hour，此外，GR 研讨会还将提供独特的培训、指导和交流机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
