Background and Nature of Conference

The Gordon Research Conference on High Temperature Chemistry has been

held biennially since 1960. As such, it is the only regularly scheduled

international meeting where the interdisciplinary group comprising high

temperature science can interact and discuss forefront issues of the day.

Gordon Conference surveys of part participants have indicated this

conference to be extremely helpful in the generation of new research ideas

and contacts. The mix of foreign, local, academic, industrial and

government participants is also a recognized hallmark of such meetings.

The 1984 Conference had 17 invited talks in the areas of:

* Cluster Formation and Properties* Chemistry of Inorganic Species in Flames* Gas-Solid Processes: Basic Surface Chemistry

* Gas-Solid Processes: Laser Vaporization* Gas-Solid Processes: Vapor Transport* Gas-Solid Processes: Vaporization

* Systematic Errors in High Temp. Equilibrium Measurements* Modeling Condensed Phase Behavior

In addition to these formal lectures and discussions, two invited

Poster Sessions pertaining to Recent Advances in High Temperature Chemistry

Page 6: I1REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Fr Aoe,a~msmg ~ ~ Uq iaU ed. 046'm No q WvI~w%" 1 Cho Oaft 0 At'fomsiUUC lnd 0WwroflUresdn 6~1 Umaie4imets or Any ou t%wo aD Gv4y~i ;W!MVAT"2W a9. d2S4302

were held. Thirty-nine poster papers were presented, and provided a forum

for in-depth discussions of other active research topics in the field. A

conference program and a list of invited poster papers are attachments A

and B respectively.

The conference had a total attendance of 106: 20 from outside the

tnited States, 25 from U.S. industries, 21 from U.S. government

laboratories, and 40 from U.S. universities. The last group included 10

'young' scientists (graduate students and postdoctoral associates).

Attachment C is a complete registration list.

In accordance with Gordon Conference policy, no printed abstracts or

papers were produced or distributed. The minutes of the conference

business meeting, as prepared by the conference secretary, Dr. Clifford E.

Myers, are appended as attachment D.

Finances

A total of 112,000. was available for disbursement by the conference

chairman. Of this amount, 47,500. was orovided by the Gordon Research

Conference, 31,500. was provided by the General Electric Company, and

13,000. was provided by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. These

funds were used to offset the fixed conference fee of $235. and/or travel

expenses of key participants -- primarily speakers and discussion leaders.

A complete record of the disbursement is on file with the conference

chairman and with the Gordon Research Conference Offices.

Acknowledgment and Comments

Partial support of this conference by AFOSR is greatfuliy

acknowledged. A number of key participants would not have been able to

attend if partial support of their expenses had not been possible. The

1984 Conference was considered to be a great success by the participants,

and helped to stimulate many new ideas in basic research areas pertinent to

AFOSR. Our understanding of the high temperature behavior of materials is

critical for processing and fabrication as well as for the final

technological uses. Mechanical failure of structural metals, ceramics, and

composites is often preceded by chemical interactions (corrosion) at high

temperatures. The coupling of the chemical, thermodynamic, kinetic, and

mass transport properties of materials is the key to understanding high

temperature processing and behavior. The assessment and availability of

reliable data for use in these analyses is critical. These are but a 'ew

of the areas which were examined from a basic viewpoint at the 1984

Conference. We are confident that the free exchange of forefront

information, which was so evident at this conference, will be beneficial to

existing and future AFOSR supported programs.

ATTACENT D

GORDON RESARII CONFEMCE ON HIGH ATTCIIESN Y

Brewster AcademyWolfeboro, NH

July 23-27, 1984

Minutes of the Business Meeting

The business meeting of the conference was called to order by the chairman,Karl Spear, following the morning session on Thursday, July 26, 198A, at 11:45a.m. He reported that there were 106 conferees, 20 from outside the UnitedStates, 25 from U.S. Industries, 21 from U.S. Government Laboratories, and 40from U.S. Universities. The last included 10 'young' scientists (graduatestudents and post-doctoral associates). A complete registration list is

attached.

Following the tradition of the conference, it was moved, seconded and carriedthat Donald Hildenbrand, the 1984 Vice-Chairman, be elected Chairman of the1986 Conference.

The Nominating Committee, which had been named on the first day of theconference and included all former chairman present, consisted of: PaulGilles (1962, Chairman), Leo Brewer (1960), K. D glas Carlson (1972), E.David Cater (1978), John Hastie (1980), Gerd Rosenblatt (1974) and Karl Spear(1984).

The committee's nominees for Vice-Chairman of the 1986 conference wereannounced:

Robert Hauge, Rice UniversityPaul Nordine, Midwest Research Institute

A call was made for nominations from the floor, but there were none. PaulNordine was elected by a secret ballot.

The Chairman called on Paul Nordine for the report of the RecommendationsCommittee. Committee members were:

Paul Nordine, Chairman (Midwest Research Institute)David Bonnell (U.S. National Bureau of Standards)Ian Beattie (University of Southampton, United Kingdom)Franz Rosenberger (University of Utah)

Gary Sigai (GTE Sylvania R and D Labs)Kent Casleton (U.S. Department of Energy, Morgantown)Paul Blackburn (Argonne National Laboratory)Michael Drake (General Electric R and D Labs)

The Committee made the following recommendations:

1. There should be a Gordon Research Conference on HighTemperature Chemistry in 1986 at the same time of year as thepresent Conference or later, and the location of theconference should be Tilton or Brewster (Wolfeboro). A strawvote overwhelmingly favored the Brewster site.

2. The conference meeting room should be equipped with aperiodic chart.

3. With respect to the poster sessions: a) there is a need forimproved spacial arrangements, b) posters need to be upearlier, and c) other times (e.g., 11:30 a.m. -- 12:30 p.m.)should be considered.

4. With respect to program organization: a) the 1984 program isan excellent prototype, b) continuation of the presentpattern of two or three longer lectures with discussionshould be continued for some of the sessions, and c) Some ofthe sessions should have more numerous shorter talks on acommon theme.

5. The topics covered should maintain a balance between activeresearch areas and new directions, concepts, and methods. Inthis connection, a survey of the high temperature communitywould be helpful. A list of suggested topics is attached tothese minutes.

Chairman Spear expressed his appreciation to those whom he had consultedextensively in preparing the program. He then gave over the Chair to the 1986Chairman Elect, Donald Hildenbrand, who expressed appreciation on behalf ofthe conferees to Chairman Spear for his effective planning and smooth runningof the present conference.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:10 p.m.

Respectively submitted,Clifford E. MyersConference SecretaryJuly 26, 1984
