ExxonMobil Chemical. (People in the News).Walter Waddell, applications and technical development manager at ExxonMobil Chemical, was selected to receive the Melvin Mooney Melvin Mooney (1893-1968) was an American physicist. He developed the Mooney Viscometer and other testing equipment used in the rubber industry. He also proposed the Mooney-Rivlin solid constitutive law describing the hyperelastic stress-strain behavior of rubber. Distinguished Technology Award. This award is presented for exceptional technical competency of an individual who has made significant and repeated contributions to rubber science and technology. He has over 100 publications in journals in various areas in biochemistry, photochemistry photochemistry, study of chemical processes that are accompanied by or catalyzed by the emission or absorption of visible light or ultraviolet radiation. A molecule in its ground (unexcited) state can absorb a quantum of light energy, or photon, and go to a , chemistry of silica silica or silicon dioxide, chemical compound, SiO2. It is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in alkalies, and soluble in dilute hydrofluoric acid. Pure silica is colorless to white. and polymer applications. He holds 15 patents, and his work in silica chemistry and butyl butyl /bu·tyl/ (bu´t'l) a hydrocarbon radical, C4H9. bu·tyl n. A hydrocarbon radical, C4H9. butyl a hydrocarbon radical, C4H9. polymers has become basic reading for researchers in the tire industry. He has won many awards including the 1993 Rubber Division's SparksThomas Award. |
