Some Grand Challenges for Chemists and Chemical Engineers... 

Dividing the enterprise of the chemical sciences strictly into fundamentals and areas of societal benefit cannot, of course, be done with any degree of purity, so every chapter has significant elements of both. This is particularly true in the sections on theory and computation (Chapter 6) and on the interface with biology and medicine (Chapter 7). We close in Chapter 12 with our vision of grand challenges for the chemical sciences.

Physical models of fuel cell operation contribute to the development of diagnoshc methods, the rational design of advanced materials, and the systematic ophmization of performance. The grand challenge is to understand relations of primary chemical structure of materials, composition of heterogeneous media, effective material properties, and performance. For polymer electrolyte membranes, the primary chemical structure refers to ionomer molecules, and the composition-dependent phenomena are mainly determined by the uptake and distribuhon of water.

In Chapter 2, a number of grand challenges for chemists and chemical engineers were delineated to promote national security and homeland defense, based on the views of workshop participants. This chapter goes one step further to identify scientific barriers that prevent those challenges from being met. 

The second grand challenge, preparation, is as important as threat redaction, since preventive measures will not preclude all terrorist attacks. Though chemical and biological weapons are many and varied, a common set of barriers in basic science exist that can be overcome to increase our readiness. 

The third grand challenge, situational awareness, poses the most numerons research challenges for chemists and chemical engineers. The science of sensing and detecting involves a wide variety of technologies and requires expertise in many different fields.
