Cleveland hosts Rubber Division.The Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a learned society (professional association) based in the United States that supports scientific inquiry in the field of chemistry. Founded in 1876 at New York University, the ACS currently has over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in will hold its 164th Fall Technical Meeting and Rubber Exposition October 14-17 at the Cleveland Convention Center in Cleveland, OH. Symposia will include: New commercial developments; Peroxide curing of elastomers; Advances in tire analysis and imaging; Advances in polymer nanocomposite applications; Elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. composites; Aging and stabilization of rubber and plastics; and Rubber recycling. Contributed papers sessions and an academic poster session will be held. Rubber Expo '03, featuring over 285 companies, will take place in the Cleveland Convention Center. Hours on October 14 and 15 will be 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Hours on Thursday, October 16, will be 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The Rubber Division will hold its first Career Assistance Workshop on Tuesday, October 14. Dr. Joel Schulman will present the workshop, "Managing an effective job search," from 8:30-11:30 a.m. at the Cleveland Convention Center. He will then be available from 1-4 p.m. to review workshop attendee resumes and answer questions.
