James E. Mark
James E. Mark (December 14, 1934 - September 23, 2017) was a Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Cincinnati. Mark made important contributions to understanding the physical chemistry of polymers. His contributions included models of the elasticity of polymer networks, hybrid organic-inorganic composites, liquid-crystalline polymers, and a variety of computer simulations. Personal Mark was born on December 14, 1934, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Education Mark received his B.S. degree in 1957 in Chemistry from Wilkes College and his Ph.D. degree in 1962 in physical chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. After completing his doctoral work, he served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University under Paul J. Flory. Career Mark entered academia as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He later moved to the University of Michigan, where he became a Full Professor in 1972. In 1977, he assumed the position of P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
University Of Cincinnati
The University of Cincinnati (UC or Cincinnati) is a public research university in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1819 as Cincinnati College, it is the oldest institution of higher education in Cincinnati and has an annual enrollment of over 44,000 students, making it the second largest university in Ohio. It is part of the University System of Ohio. The university has four major campuses, with Cincinnati's main uptown campus and medical campus in the Heights and Corryville neighborhoods, and branch campuses in Batavia and Blue Ash, Ohio. The university has 14 constituent colleges, with programs in architecture, business, education, engineering, humanities, the sciences, law, music, and medicine. The medical college includes a leading teaching hospital and several biomedical research laboratories, with developments made including a live polio vaccine and diphenhydramine. UC was also the first university to implement a co-operative education (co-op) model. The university is accre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Goodyear Medal
The Charles Goodyear Medal is the highest honor conferred by the American Chemical Society, Rubber Division. Established in 1941, the award is named after Charles Goodyear, the discoverer of vulcanization, and consists of a gold medal, a framed certificate and prize money. The medal honors individuals for "outstanding invention, innovation, or development which has resulted in a significant change or contribution to the nature of the rubber industry". Awardees give a lecture at an ACS Rubber Division meeting, and publish a review of their work in the society's scientific journal ''Rubber Chemistry and Technology''. Recipients Source: * 1941 David Spence – Diamond Rubber Co. researcher noted for synthesizing isoprene for use in synthetic rubber * 1942 Lorin B. Sebrell – Goodyear Research Director noted for his work on organic accelerators for vulcanization * 1944 Waldo L. Semon – early developer of synthetic rubber, in particular Ameripol for B. F.

University Of Cincinnati Faculty
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university i ...
