Rubber Division meets in Michigan.The 165th Spring Technical Meeting of the Rubber Division, 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 be held at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel Amway Grand Plaza Hotel is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan and is named after Amway Corporation, which is based in Grand Rapids. Originally known as The Pantlind (founded in 1913), Amway Grand Plaza Hotel reopened in 1981 after extensive renovations including the addition in Grand Rapids, MI, May 17-19. The meeting will feature technical symposia in which researchers, specialists and industrial technologists will report on the latest scientific and technical advances in the rubber and polymer industries. This year's meeting will feature a separate Automotive Industry Session that includes colloquia col·lo·qui·a n. A plural of colloquium. on "Rubber for automotive products, automotive hoses and sealing applications," and "Rubber in alternate power sources, hybrid vehicles and hyper cars." This special session will be held May 18-19. The 165th meeting will also include the annual Science and Technology Awards banquet. Three prestigious awards will be given this year to Dr. Oon Hock Yeoh (Melvin Mooney Distinguished Technology Award, sponsored by Crompton/Uniroyal Chemical), Dr. Roderick R Quirk (George Stafford Whitby Award for Distinguished Teaching and Research, sponsored by Cabot) and Dr. Andy Tsou (Sparks Thomas Award, sponsored by ExxonMobil Chemical). The Rubber Division will also join other agencies in the rubber and asphalt industries, along with the Federal Highway Administration The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is a division of the United States Department of Transportation that specializes in highway transportation. The agency's major activities are grouped into two "programs," The Federal-aid Highway Program and the Federal Lands Highway and Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), independent agency of the U.S. government, with headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1970 to reduce and control air and water pollution, noise pollution, and radiation and to ensure the safe handling and , to sponsor the first annual Rubber Modified Asphalt Conference, to be held at the same hotel on May 19-20. This conference, "Working together to improve roads," will offer a forum for attendees to learn about the uses of rubber modified asphalt, facilitate discussions between industries and government agencies, gain knowledge between industries on materials and specifications and open opportunities to expand the use of rubber modified asphalt. Keynote speakers will include Byron Lord, FHWA FHWA Federal Highway Administration (US DoT) Highways for Life, and Andy Acho, Ford Motor. Symposia scheduled for the 165th Spring Technical Meeting will include Elastomers and their applications; Engineering design of rubber components; Frontiers in rubber science; Aging mechanism and lifetime predictions of rubber products: Rubber for automotive products/automotive hoses/ sealing applications; Wire and cable technology; and Rubber in alternate power sources, hybrid vehicles, hyper cars.
