The Rubber Division, American Chemical Society, is accepting nominations for the following six Science and Technology Awards for 2012: The Charles Goodyear Medal (sponsored by the Rubber Division), The Sparks-Thomas Award (sponsored by ExxonMobil Chemical Company), The Melvin Mooney Distinguished Technology Award (sponsored by Lion Copolymer), The George Stafford Whitby Award for Distinguished Teaching and Research (sponsored by Cabot Corporation), The Fernley H. Banbury Award (sponsored by the Farrel Company) and The Chemistry of Thermoplastic Elastomers Award (sponsored by the Ralph S. Graff Foundation).
These prestigious awards recognize specific distinguished achievements of rubber scientists, engineers, chemists and technologists worldwide. Many honors are received with the various awards such as monetary honorariums, engraved plaques and recognition at a special awards banquet held in honor of the recipients. Presentations to the award winners will be made by the sponsors during the Rubber Division's spring 181st Technical Meeting to be held in San Antonio, TX on April 22-25, 2012.
Detailed information on each award, to include the requirements for nominating an individual, can be found in the Rubber Division's web site, www.rubber.org. The deadline for award nominations to be received at the Rubber Division is July 15, 2011. This is your opportunity to help recognize a colleague in the field who has used his or her creativity and dedication to move technology, industry and academia forward. Selection of finalists is determined by the Division's Science and Technology Awards Committee, with final approval by the Executive Committee at the 2011 fall meeting in Cleveland, Ohio. |
