Some stated objectives for 2006 SSC workshop
• Assess impact of SSC on the physical sciences through continuing advances and the many
ways of interacting across disciplinary boundaries
• Assess how to make the NSF and the scientific community more aware of this impact
• Assess the links between SSC and “hybrid materials”, which are inherently interdisciplinary
• Assess how SSC impacts other fields with respect to understanding and predicting the
properties of materials, and stimulating the discovery of new materials
• Premise: greatest opportunities often exist at the interdisciplinary boundaries
NSF-supported interdisciplinary initiatives
• Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC)
• Engineering Research Centers (ERC)
• Nano initiative (NSECs, NIRTs)
• Focused research groups (FRGs)
• Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program (IGERT)
• Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program (I/UCRC)
• Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRTs)
• Others….
Global questions
• How much SSC is embedded within interdisciplinary NSF programs?
• What about other agencies (DOE, DOD, etc.)?
• How is solid state chemistry currently impacting other disciplines? Is the impact growing?
How do we measure this? How do we increase the awareness of this impact?
• What is the impact of solid state chemistry in the context of societal needs that can only be
addressed through connections to other disciplines?
• What are the future growth opportunities for SSC in other disciplines?
• How do investigators in different disciplines connect, particularly those that extend beyond
the physical sciences?
• What are the best mechanisms for promoting these ventures?
• Are the current funding mechanisms sufficient in terms of efficacy and financial support?
• Should new mechanisms be considered?
The role of SSC in other disciplines
Today’s examples
• Geology
• Biology
• Medicine/Disease
• Pharmacy
• Physics
• Energy
• Organic devices
• Information technology
Missing, but not to be ignored
• Ordered mesoporous solids and templated synthesis
• Soft Materials
• Hierarchical core-shell structures
• Molecular materials
- metal-organic and hydrogen-bonded networks
- organic conductors and magnetic materials
• Nanomaterials
- magnetic materials
- quantum dots
Solid-state chemistry and geology
• Minerals: Raw materials for technology
• Critical technological, social, and political issues (e.g., water, oil)
• Solid state chemistry and environment: transport of contaminants by groundwater,
radionuclide release
• Strong overlap with other fields: glasses, zeolites, cements
• Methodologies of petrologists: wider application in solid state chemistry
• Geology involves nanoscale processes: physics and chemistry molecular level concepts
• Mineralogists often expert crystallographers familiar with complex inorganic structures

• Mechanically robust glass structure with unusual periodic features
• Strength attributed to hierarchical structures across large range of length scales
• Impact on biology, mechanical engineering, nanoscience…
• Templating phenomena: single crystal magnetic nanorods; structural scaffolds based on
composites (calcium carbonate + protein)
Solid-state chemistry and biology (clinical)
• Bioactive glasses: SiO2–CaO–P2O5–MO (M= Na, Mg, etc.)
• Bone-forming activity associated with:
- composition
- porosity
- specific surface area
- crystallinity
- particle size
• Slow induction period for crystalline apatite formation
• Lack of plasticity limits practical applications
• Requirements for bioactive glass:
- can be injected and molded into irregularly shaped defects in bones and teeth
- hardens rapidly
- promotes rapid formation of biocompatible HA layers that promote cellular processes
Solid-state chemistry: new biocompatible cements
Stucky, et al., Adv. Mater. 2006, 18, 1038

• Plastic but rapid setting cement from mesoporous bioactive glass in
ammonium phosphate solution
• Fully set cement retains geometrical shape and mechanical strength
• Induces accelerated in vitro calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite nanocrystals
(Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) during setting (30 minutes)
• Mesoporosity + surface composition + regulation of Ca2+ = superior in vivo

Solid-state chemistry and biology (clinical)
• Metals, metal alloys, ceramics, non-absorbable polymers: the "stuff" of devices & implants
• The role of SSC in tissue engineering needs to be better defined
• Complex interactions with proteins and cells need to be defined at a fundamental level
• Are the effects of nanosized features on interactions due to size alone…
• Or can biology “sense” different crystal structures (e.g. atomic spacing, surface structure and
composition)
• What tools are needed to explore and predict these responses?
• Increased support for biologically oriented approaches in solid-state materials?
• Scientists, engineers, and clinicians must bridge a “culture” gap for interdisciplinary interactions
• NSF vs. NIH (or (NSF + NIH)?
Solid state chemistry and pharmaceuticals
• Solid state properties of pharmaceuticals crucial for bioavailability
• Polymorphism difficult to control; important for FDA certification and patent
protection
• Solid state transformations impact stability (shelf life)
• “Disappearing polymorphs”
• Challenge: Selective crystallization of polymorphs and enantiomorphs
• $100 billion impact
• Other specialty chemicals
