Schedule of Events ...... 2 Chair’s Welcome Expo Theater Schedule ...... 3 Passion and Convergence: The joining of many to make a difference

would like to take this opportunity to personally thank each of you for attending our International Elastomer Mayor’s Greeting ...... 5 Conference at the David L.

With that said, it is our utmost and sincere desire that your time spent here this week is rewarding in either contacts developed, relationships either begun or renewed Exhibitor List ...... 9-41 and educational curiosity stimulated. We who are closely associated with the Rubber Division strive to make your experience at the conference well worth your valuable time. We invite you to stop by the Rubber Division, ACS booth, talk with any member of our staff, Expo Floor Plan ...... 30 Executive Committee members (as signified by the ‘Executive Committee’ ribbon on their name tags) or one of our Officers as noted by their corresponding chest pin. We value your input. Welcome to Pittsburgh -- Sixburgh, Steel City, City of Bridges or just the Exhibitor Quick Reference . . .31 Burgh! Did you know that a fellow Pittsburgher George Westinghouse in 1869 demonstrated the first practical air brake for railroads? Did you also know that in 1885 the Westinghouse Electric Company developed alternating current Technical making long distance transmission of electric power possible? Or did you Leo C. Goss Jr. know that in 1893 another Pittsburgher, George Ferris, constructed the first 2016 Chair Meeting ...... 42-52 Ferris wheel for the 1893 World’s Fair, World’s Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago? Why am I bringing up Pittsburgh’s firsts? Great question! Since most know that our last year’s Chair, Terry Delapa, was the first female Chair in the 106 year history of Rubber Division, ACS, it is fitting to Student Colloquium & return to a Convention Center where in 2012, the Rubber Division was the first venue for Pittsburgh to show- case their newly remodeled center. Therefore, it is with great humility that I follow Terry’s lead this year. Yet I Poster Session ...... 49 wonder, does anyone know what David Lawrence’s middle name is? I bet I know. Back to this year’s conference. Don’t miss the Keynote Address, Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. As earlier stated, I follow the first female chair, so in honoring her, I was fortunate enough to have Firuza Mir, President & CEO, Speaker Index ...... 53 Lanxess Sybron Inc., Head of Region, Americas for Liquid Purification Technologies, provide a talk on “Water Treatment, Current and Future Trends.” I also hope that you are able to attend the Opening Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting. Although I was more fashionably dressed at last year’s Ribbon Cutting, I trust that I won’t disappoint this year. Make no mistake, Educational Rubber Division, ACS, including the staff, committees and volunteers do their best to provide an event well Symposium ...... 55 worth your time. This year is no exception. The Program Planning Committee has put together a structured and varied Technical Program with over 120 scheduled papers. It is our hope and desire that these are topics of interest to you. We also have our 13th Annual Student Colloquium and Poster Session. If time permits, please stop in as all the students look forward to interfacing with all representatives from our diverse industry. Business & Awards Is fitness your passion? Then meet us in the lobby of the Westin at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday to register Meeting ...... 56 for the 5K Run/Walk. We encourage all to join us as we see the sights and dawn’s early light in downtown Pittsburgh. Will you be here for the closing of the conference? If so, then I cordially invite you to attend our Business & Awards Meeting at 1:00 p.m. in the Expo Theater. Assist us with your support as we honor those who have and continue to add value, knowledge, leadership and passion to our Rubber Division, ACS. Program Planning As the incoming 2016 Chair of Rubber Division, ACS, one of my goals was to recruit those with ‘Passion’ Committee ...... 57 that share our Vision of ‘Enhancing science, technology and business across the evolving elastomeric community’ by either being a passionate Champion or Team Member for one of the four established Goals of our 2016-2020 Strategic Plan. Our goals are: Executive Committee & Rubber Goal 1: Develop and Implement a recruitment and retention plan that entices individuals, companies Division, ACS Staff ...... 58 and organizations to be active members. Goal 2: Develop strategic partnerships and collaboration with industry leaders globally. Goal 3: Be the premier global elastomeric resource providing cutting edge education, science, technology, and business related information, programs and activities. General Information ...... 60 Goal 4: Develop and communicate messages that convey the relevance, critical importance and value of elastomers to the global community. I have accomplished one goal in that I have appointed champions for the four goals. Leonard Thomas, retired and 2013 Past Chair champions Goal #1. Kimberly Dempsey-Miller, consultant, champions Goal #2. William Stahl, Rainbow Master Mixing and 2016 Chair-Elect, champions Goal #3. Finally, Terry Dela- pa, Alpha Technologies and 2015 Past Chair (the Rubber Division’s first female Chair), champions Goal #4. Do you feel passionate with regard to any of the four Goals? Are you passionate enough to be a Team Member? If so, please contact me or the Champion at any time or at our Business & Awards Meeting. We on the Executive and Steering Committees hope that your conference experience is meaningful and will gladly listen to any opportunity for improvement. We, along with the Division staff, make the ef- fort to ensure that each year your experience is a memorable one. So in closing, I want to thank you for your dedication, attendance and commitment to Rubber Division, ACS. I want to especially thank the Rubber Division, ACS staff. Your tireless dedication to us and this conference is greatly appreciated. We couldn’t do it without you. Think RUBBER!
