Rubber Division takes nominations.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 , is accepting nominations for the following six awards for 2002: The Charles Goodyear Award; the Sparks-Thomas Award; 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; the George Stafford Whitby Award for Distinguished Teaching and Research; the Fernley H. Banbury Award; and the Chemistry of Thermoplastic Elastomers Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) which consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.
