Advances and Upcoming Research Strategies in Reactive Materials, Fall 2017 MRS
Abstract
The goal of this funding was to provide registration and/or travel support of students, organizers, and invited speakers attending session PM2: Advances and Upcoming Research Strategies in Reactive Materials, at the Fall 2017 MRS Meeting. The focus of this conference was on current basic research in the broad field of energetic materials and covers topics ranging from molecular level modeling of energetic materials to the measurement of their behavior in propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. This area is particularly relevant to the research objectives in energetic materials supported by ARO. The objective of the conference was to bring together leading scientists from the international community, as well as young researchers and students. This helps to build a network of scientists who can benefit from exposure to a wide range of subjects, all encompassed by this multidisciplinary field. The discussion leaders and speakers were chosen to cover many technical areas within energetic materials, and to include established leaders as well as emerging contributors to the field who have already demonstrated their excellence. Accomplishments: The MRS Meeting Symposium PM2, Advances and Upcoming Research Strategies in Reactive Materials was held and was very successful. Of the $11K ARO Award, $2412.51 should have been returned to ARO. The remaining funds used partially supported 22 students to attend. The funds also partially supported 8 Invited Speakers and Chairs to attend. The location of this conference will be at the Hynes Convention Center and Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, MA. The standard conference registration fee is approximately $665, or $150 for students. The Materials Research Society provides equipped meeting, poster rooms, and audiovisual support. The conference site is accessible for people with disabilities.
