International Symposium on Frontiers of Translation Materials Science
Abstract
International Symposium on ""Frontiers of Translation Materials Science1) Overall scientific and technical merits: The Symposium" is for leading materials scientists in Asia to discuss and review state-of-the-art developments in ~translational materials science.~ Translational research addresses scientific issues underpinning integration of materials science/process into functionality of devices, e.g., chemical transformation/transport for mechanical property control, hierarchical material system design and material properties across multiple length scales. There is a large gap in understanding the relationship between intrisic properties of novel ~building block~ materials and the extrinsic properties of large-scale synthetic materials/devices. Topics of interest include graphene and layered materials, inorganic and polymer nanotubes, perovskite, nanoparticles, cathode materials for batteries, surface patterning and functionalization, energy harvesting artificial muscle and photosynthesis, and catalysis and micro reactor. The organizer, Dr. Haiwon Lee, is a leader of the materials science and nanotechnology field in Korea and Asia. He is highly qualified as the organizer of the Symposium and the PI of the project. 2) Potential Naval Relevance: Materials science is the enabler of many military technologies such as low observables, directed energy weapons, and sonar transducers. The advancement of translational material science is important to future military capabilities as it could realty accelerate the transition of new materials discoveries to deployable devices. 3) The final decision on the availability of funds is determined by the Technical Director (TD) upon the TD~s approval/disapproval in the PPS grant writing system. The TD can only approve a grant in PPS when sufficient funds are available.
