HUMAN RESOURCES
Much information about polymer science has been placed on the web
over the past year (7/94 to 7/95.) We would like to thank
the people who have built the polymer web pages that we can use as
extracurricular aids for polymer education.
Specifically, we are looking for sites where it is evident that
a person has put more than a few hours into compiling information
or pictures related to polymers,
information that a student can use to broaden her or his
understanding of polymer science.
If you know of a site that we have missed, please let us know.

PRESENTING THEIR WORK
Polymer FAQ-
Jim Coffey
A toast:
Jim was one of the earliest people to advocate the use of computer technology
to enhance polymer education, and to encourage us newcomers to
get involved. Thanks Jim!
sci.polymer FAQ
Phoenix Polymers-
Greg Koski
A toast:
We wouldn't know how fast the polymer information on the web was growing,
were it not for the tireless effort put into finding all the new
sites by the president of
The Little Company that Could. Thank you, Greg.
Case Western Reserve-
Jack Koenig, John Graff, and
coworkers
A toast:
Jack Koenig and his coworkers have built a very educational website. I
like the idea of the glossary. "JWG6" is John Graff, an undergraduate
physics major who has worked on this web site for Summer-94 and
Summer-95. Keep up the good work John, and please continue to make
lots of 'a name'
labels for me to link to :) Thanks!
University of Southern Mississippi-
Pierre Rousseau
Nice photography! The pictures of the
equipment used for polymer research will be linked to the Polymer
Building.
Molecular OptoElectronics Corporation-
Mike Shimazu
Interesting research applying polymer technology to the development of
optical communications, data storage, and information processing.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Materials Science-
Diana C. Chiang
At the Fall '94 American Chemical Society Meeting (Washington, D.C.), a
professor from MIT gave an interesting talk at the Polymer Division
Symposium to honor Flory. The point of the talk was how chemical education
should undergo a paradigm change to focus on how materials can be
classified in nature (ceramics, metals, polymers, etc.) rather than
Organic, Physical, and Inorganic. Best wishes to MIT and
their efforts toward this important change!
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich-
H. Chr. Öttinger
A compact, information-rich essay.
Penn State Plastics Engineering Technology Lab-
Darren Schilberg
Information and pictures about plastics engineering
Polymer Resource Network-
Ray Darby
Several polymer search engines
Macromolecular Chemistry at the University of
Hannover, Germany-
Uwe Geißler
Type in a polymer word and references with that word appear
from a database of 6,500 entries! (7/95)
Loyola-
Roan Horning
TEC/WTEC's mission is to inform U.S. policy makers, strategic planners, and
managers of the
state of selected technologies in foreign countries in comparison to the United States. JTEC/WTEC
assessments cover basic research, advanced development, and
applications/commercialization.
Small panels of about six technical experts conduct JTEC/WTEC assessments.
Panelists are
leading authorities in their field, technically active, and knowledgeable
about U.S. and foreign
research programs.
General Electric-
No contact person
The information in this web site gives a student the chance to
put their polymer knowledge to work. When GE talks about their
products, you should be able to relate everything back to what you
learned in your polymer courses.
Once again,
this list is not complete. We will add more names as we find the web
sites, and you are welcome to submit nominations.
