Ober receives ACS Award.Christopher K. Ober, the Francis Norwood Bard Professor of Materials Engineering at Cornell University, was named the winner of the 2006 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 Award in Applied Polymer Science. The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate, and will be presented at the ACS meeting in Atlanta. Ober has developed reworkable epoxy-based thermoset composites that are being developed commercially as adhesives for microchips, so defective parts can be reprocessed. The materials are expected to find applications in the computer and telecommunications industries. Ober received his Bachelor of Science Noun 1.
