Polymer Chemistry—April 6 - 8 . Dr. John K. Stille and Dr. Michael E. Freeburger; fee $90. This course provides an introduction to polymer chemistry for organic chemists. Major emphasis is on methods of preparation, mechanisms, and kinetics. Detailed consideration is given to conformations and chain dimension, as well as configurations, tacticity, and order. Other topics, such as structure-property relationships, are given survey coverage. While the course is primarily theoretical, techniques and applied aspects are included. A knowledge of basic organic and physical chemistry is sufficient background.
Applied Economics for Chemists and Chemical Engineers—April 2 3 - 2 5 . Dr. Lewis E. Lloyd; fee $ 1 0 5 ; sponsor, Chicago Section. This course is designed to assist the chemist or chemical engineer to relate more effectively to his job, his employer, and society. Discussions of production and entrepreneurship, including the contribution of tools and automation, will point the way to more effective project selection and resource utilization. Analyses of money, credit, and inflation will give a practical basis for understanding the business cycle and its impact on the company. The presentation will be in lay language and no formal training in economics is required.
