  • Tailor-Made Polyoxypropylene Polyols for High Performance Polymer Products
    Tailor-Made Polyoxypropylene Polyols for High Performance Polymer Products Dr. R. A. Livigni Retired VP Corporate Technology GenCorp The present commercially preferred chemistry using a zinc hexacyanocobaltate complex catalyst to produce polyoxypropylene polyols will be described in detail. Control of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and functionality will be explained. Ramifications that these parameters have on the performance of products derived using these polyols will be mentioned. Some consideration will be given regarding future structures possible with this novel chemistry. Biography: Dr. Russell A. Livigni is a Native Akronite. He graduated from Kenmore High School where he received the Bausch & Lomb Honorary Science Award. After graduating, he worked as a Lab Technician at The Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.’s Latex Production Control Laboratory. He then left to become a full-time student at The University of Akron. In his junior and senior years he worked as a Research Assistant in the Institute of Rubber Research at the University. Russ received both his BSc degree in Chemistry (1956) and his PhD (1960) in Chemistry with a major in Polymer Science from The University of Akron. After graduating, Russ worked at the Scientific Laboratory of the Ford Motor Co. and then in 1961 he joined The General Tire & Rubber Co. (GenCorp) as a Senior Research Chemist. After successive promotions, Russ became the VP & Director of GenCorp Research in1987. He retired in 1996 as the VP of GenCorp’s Corporate Technology with 37 US Patents and numerous publications. Russ was a Member of the Board of Trustees of the Edison Polymer Innovation Corporation and is a Member of The University of Akron’s Chemistry Advisory Committee.

  • Universiv Micrdrilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Memorial Tributes: Volume 17 JOHN DOUGLASS FERRY 1912–2002 Elected in 1992 “For developing experimental and a conceptual framework for modern viscoelasticity of polymers.” BY R. BYRON BIRD AND A. JEFFREY GIACOMIN JOHN DOUGLASS FERRY, professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1946 until his retirement in 1982, was both a world–renowned rheologist and a highly respected chemist who made important contributions to physical chemistry, biological chemistry, and bioengineering. He was born May 4, 1912, in Dawson, Yukon, Canada, to US citizens. His father, Douglass Ferry, worked at the time as a civil engineer for the Yukon Gold Company. His mother, Eudora Bundy Ferry, a former schoolteacher, wrote a book describing their life in the mining community, Yukon Gold: Pioneering Days in the Canadian North. John Ferry’s childhood was spent in small mining towns in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. In 1932, at age 19, he graduated with an AB from Stanford University, his parents’ alma mater, with a straight A record, the first in the history of the institution. After two years of graduate study and research on ultrafiltration of proteins in London at the National Institute for Medical Research, he returned to Stanford to complete his PhD in 1935 in chemistry. John then worked with D. Spence, a rubber chemist, on vulcanization accelerators. For the next ten years he held a series of positions at Harvard University and nearby: instructor in biochemical sciences; member of the Society of 97 Copyright National Academy of Sciences.
