Industrial Experience
Xerox Corporation Research
Laboratories, Webster, New York, December 1972- January 1980.
Synthesis and studies of photoconducting polymers. Research ranged
from fundamental studies on transport in polymeric materials to synthetic
scale up. Major scientific and technical accomplishments include:
Research on organic
photoconductive polymers led to development of new organic photoreceptors
that made possible a new generation of xerographic copiers. Developed
synthesis and process for preparing TBD, now a commercially produced
compound which is currently used for hole transport in photoreceptors and
many other electronic devices (patents 20, 40, 41). Designed
and synthesized addition copolymers with pendant donor and acceptor groups
and addition polymers with pendant strong acceptor groups ( patents 10-18;
publications 11, 14, 19). These works were cited as original
contributions in this area and numerous papers from other laboratories
were published.
Exxon Research and Engineering
Co., Corporate Research- Science Laboratories, Linden, NJ, February
1980-September 1982. Synthesis and properties of ionomers.
Synthesis and properties of new water soluble polymers.
Research ranged from fundamental studies on new polymerization processes,
to new structure-property relationships, to transfer of laboratory
processes to pilot scale up. Major scientific and technical
accomplishments include:
Fundamental research on an
emulsion polymerization of a water soluble ionic monomer and an organic
water insoluble monomer led to new families of sulfonate ionomer
copolymeric materials (patents 23-26; publications 23-25). Some of
these copolymers have been the basis of a series of commercial rheological
control additives for drilling fluids.
Studies on other incompatible
monomers led to a new polymerization technique--microemulsion
copolymerization (patents 31, 32, 34; publication 35). This patented
and now widely referenced technique has led to continuing research on
novel hydrophobic/hydrophilic copolymers with unusual rheological
characteristics. Such novel structures were designed for
applications in enhanced oil recovery techniques and other applications
requiring control of aqueous solution rheology.
Eastman Kodak Company, Corporate Research Laboratories, Rochester, New
York, October 1982-June 1993. Synthesis and properties of novel
polymers for microlithographic resist materials. Studies on new
polymerization chemistries for novel polymer architectures and high
performance polymeric materials. Major scientific and technical
accomplishments include:
Designed, synthesized,
characterized, and evaluated a new family of phenolic copolymers for a new
generation of improved aqueous base developable positive photoresists with
enhanced thermal and etch performance characteristics (patent 38;
publication 26). Designed and synthesized novel organometallic
polymers with improved X-ray sensitivities for submicron lithographies
(patent 42, publications 36, 37). Led resist group doing frontier
and exploratory research on microlithographic materials.
Developed mechanistic
understanding and prepared novel block and multiphase polymeric materials
by new free radical chemistries for blend compatibilizers and surface
active polymers (publication 41). Fundamental mechanistic work on
thiocarbamate iniferter chemistries showed practical limitations of
process.
Designed and synthesized
hyperbranched polymers with novel functionalities and developed structure
property relationships of dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers.
Fundamental work was done in collaborative effort with Prof. Jean Fréchet
of U. California Berkeley (then at Cornell University). Many of the
aromatic polyester structures developed remain active areas of research in
groups around the world. Explored the use of novel hyperbranched
aromatic polyesters in medical imaging, photographic addenda, polymer
additives and high solids coating materials (patents 57, 58, 62, 63;
publications 47, 53, 58, 62, 63, 66, 69).
Developed new high performance
polymeric materials based on diiodo monomers arising from Eastman Chemical
Company’s oxyiodination technology. By using Heck chemistries it was
demonstrated that polyaramides can be prepared without using acid
chlorides and polyimides can be prepared without using anhydrides (patents
54, 59-61, 64-66; publications 46, 48, 52, 56, 57, 61, 64, 65, 67).
Led team that studied
polymerization/copolymerization of the monoepoxide of butadiene (EpB) and
EpB derivatives (patents 48-53; publication 70). This difunctional small
molecule (monomer) is a proprietary Eastman material with major commercial
potential.
Designed, synthesized, and
studied properties of polymeric materials (epoxides, imides) containing
interconnected organic and inorganic networks based on trialkoxysilane sol
gel chemistries.
Eastman Chemical Company, Polymers Research Division, Kingsport, TN July
1993-December 2004. Transferred to Kingsport after dissolution of
Corporate Research Laboratories of Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester.
Eastman Chemical Company “spun-out” as an independent company in 1994.
Promoted to Senior Research Associate in 1993 and to Research Fellow in
1998. Research primarily involved the design, synthesis, and study
of polyester plastic materials for advanced performance requirements.
Major scientific and technical accomplishments include:
Discovered new polyesteramide
compositions with unique thermal properties (patent 76). Developed
fundamental understanding of limitations of combining esters and amide
functional groups in a polymer backbone.
Designed, synthesized, and
established structure property relationships in amorphous polyesters with
enhanced performance characteristics. Some examples of this work are
currently in advanced stages of development with scale-up activities of
thousands of pounds (patents 81, 83, 84, 95, 99; publication 84).
Initiated a nanocomposites
program at Eastman Chemical. After initiating the program
participated by synthesizing and studying novel montmorillonite clay
polyester nanocomposites for enhanced barrier and mechanical properties.
A commercial barrier resin package, ImpermTM was commercialized
as a result of this work (patents 78, 82, 85-94, 96; publication 75).
This technology was licensed to Nanocor, Eastman’s joint development
partner in this project and a series of products are now available under
this trade name from Nanocor and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical. Eastman
subsequently gave their part of the technology to the University of South
Carolina where it is the basis on a $7 million state and private
investment in polymer nanocomposites in the USC Nanocenter.
