Columbus 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 166th Fall Technical Meeting and Rubber Mini Expo "04 October 5-8 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH. Symposia will include: New commercial developments: Advances in roiling resistance, traction and tread-wear; Elastomer composites and tire testing; Rubber recycling: Tests and methodologies for solving factory problems, improving quality and reducing costs: Heat-resistant elastomers: Advances in rubber additives and compounding; Thermoplastic elastomers: and Adhesion. A student colloquium and poster session will be held, along with a contributed papers session. Over 175 companies will exhibit during the Mini Expo '04 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Hours on October 5 and 6 will be 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Hours oil Thursday, October 7, will be 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The Exhibitors' Reception will take place Tuesday, October 5, from 5-6:30 p.m. in the ballroom of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The 25-Year-Chlb Luncheon will be held Wednesday, October 6, at the Hyatt Regency Columbus. On Thursday, October 7, at 11 a.m., the Rubber Division's Business and Awards Meeting will be held in the convention center. The second annual career assistance workshop, "Managing an effective job search," will be held from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Wednesday, October 6 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. "Introduction to rubber technology," a one-day seminar for those new to the industry, working in stiles, administration, human resources or any other non-technical area looking for a very basic, easy-to-understand introduction course to the jargon of the trade and what goes on in the factory and laboratory, will be held Monday, October 4, from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Columbus. Taught by R.J. Del Vecchio of Technical Consulting Services, this seminar will cover the following topics: What are polymers? How is rubber different from plastic? How are recipes for rubber compounds created and why? What is involved in mixing, processing and vulcanizing rubber? What are testing, specifying and quality control of rubber products? The cost for this course is $295 for Rubber Division members and $395 for non-members. "Compounding, mixing, curing and testing of rubber," a course designed for technicians, chemists and stiles and marketing individuals working in the rubber industry, will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 4-5, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Columbus. Dr. Krishna C. Baranwal of Akron Rubber Development Laboratory and other guest speakers will cover basic, firsthand information on rubber technology; details on mixing, curing and testing; and practical problem solving sessions from group discussions. The cost of this course is $495 for Rubber Division members and $595 for non-members. The Rubber Division's Rubber Recycling Workshop will take place on Wednesday, October 6, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. This workshop is designed for rubber recyclers, rubber recycling equipment managers, engineers, and research and development and marketing personnel working in rubber recycling. Speakers will cover such topics as historical perspectives and market trends; recycling processes, applications of recycled rubber, testing and chemical modification of recycled rubber. The course cost is $295 for Rubber Division members and $395 for nonmembers. On Tuesday, October 5, a student colloquium and poster session will be held from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Jorge A. Ayala, vice president of carbon black technology for Columbian Chemicals. Ayala will speak on, "Carbon black--properties and challenges for a commercial nano-engineered material." The objective of this student colloquium is to increase student participation and interaction in the Rubber Division and the rubber industry, attracting the next generation of talent into the industry. In addition to exposure to industry professionals, this will also be an educational opportunity. As keynote speaker, Ayala's objective will be to impart fundamental knowledge to students, and more importantly, to communicate existing research opportunities and identity questions that have not yet been answered, or areas where further research is required. Student paper presentations will be held in the morning, followed by academic poster presentations in the afternoon.
