Abstract

CTS-0212339 Prieve, Dennis C. Gordon Research Conference The purpose of this grant is for partial support of the Gordon Research Conference on Chemistry at Interfaces to be held 7-12 July 2002 at Connecticut College in New London, Connecticut. The funds requested will be used to encourage wider participation in the conference by young chemical engineering faculty and promising graduate students by providing partial support for travel expenses and conference fees. The program for the conference has four sub-themes: 1) Biomolecules at Interfaces, 2) Self-Assembly at Interfaces, 3) Consequences of Colloid Forces and 4) Charge Effects in Nonaqueous Media. 22 speakers and 20 discussion leaders have been invited and agreed to participate in the oral program. In addition to the invited talks, posters are encouraged to be submitted from all conference participants, especially from those not invited to speak. A 30-minute time slot is included in the morning program each day for oral overviews. The Vice-Chair will select between 3 and 6 posters to be summarized orally each day in this time slot. Full examination of all posters will be conducted in each afternoon's poster session. A final report will be prepared and submitted to the National Science Foundation.
