FOREWORD ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY SERIES

The was founded in 1949 by the American Chemical Society as an outlet for symposia and collections of data in special areas of topical interest that could not be accommodated in the Society's journals. It provides a medium for symposia that would otherwise be frag­ mented because their papers would be distributed among several journals or not published at all. Papers are reviewed critically according to A C S editorial standards and receive the careful attention and processing characteristic of A C S publications. Volumes in the maintain the integrity of the symposia on which they are based; however, verbatim reproductions of previously published papers are not accepted. Papers may include reports of research as well as reviews, because symposia may embrace both types of presentation.

ROGER L . CLOUGH is Manager of the Organic

Materials Synthesis and Degradation Depart­ ment at Sandia National Laboratories. He re­ ceived his P h . D . degree in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 1975 un­ der the supervision of J. D . Roberts. He then spent a year as a North Atlantic Treaty Or­ ganization Postdoctoral Fellow at the Techni­ cal University in Munich, with E . O. Fischer. This fellowship was followed by a year as a National Science Foundation Fellow at the University of California at Los Angeles with Chris Foote. Clough has authored more than 100 research papers, holds five patents, has written numerous review articles on stability and stabilization of polymers to ionizing radiation, and has edited two books on the subject of radiation effects on polymers. His research activ­ ities include polymer oxidation mechanisms, lifetime prediction methodolo­ gies, oxygen diffusion effects in materials degradation, development of analytical techniques for monitoring materials degradation, and understanding changes in mechanical properties and color that occur as polymers undergo aging. The department that Clough manages has responsibility for developing a variety of high-performance materials and for investigating a wide range of polymer degradation problems involving environments of elevated tempera­ ture, U V light, or ionizing radiation.

NORMAN BILLINGHAM

C. is Reader in Chem­ istry in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences at the University of Sussex, Brighton, United Kingdom. H e received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Bir­ mingham. In 1967 he moved to Sussex as an ICI Research Fellow, and he has spent his re­ search career in Sussex, moving from Lecturer to Reader in 1988. His research interests in degradation and stabilization of polymers in­ clude development of new methods of study, especially chemiluminescence and optical mi­ croscopy. H e has worked on solubility, diffu­ sion, and loss of stabilizing additives and on application of U V and fluorescence microscopy to study additive location and migration. Other research interests are in polymer synthesis, with an emphasis on use of group-transfer and revii

lated polymerization methods to prepare monodisperse block copolymers for evaluation as dispersants and binders in ceramics processing and in membrane applications. A particular interest is water-soluble and amphiphilic polymers and their solution behavior. Billingham has published more than 100 papers and reviews. H e was awarded the 1994 Royal Society of Chemistry Industrial Award in Maeromolecules and Polymers for his work in degradation and sta­ bilization of polymers. H e is editor of the Elsevier journal Polymer Degradation and Stability.

KENNETH GILLEN

T. received his B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley and his P h . D . degree in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1970. After a two-year postdoctorate at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, and a one-year position at J E O L , Ltd., he joined Sandia National Laboratories in 1974. Since 1991, Gillen has been a Distin­ guished Member of the Technical Staff in the Properties of Organic Materials Department. His research interests focus on aging effects of polymeric materials, where he develops ex­ perimental techniques and creates and verifies models for various aging en­ vironments. He has coauthored approximately 100 publications and eight invited book chapters. Gillen serves as the U.S. representative on the Inter­ national Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Radiation Effects Working Group, which creates and rewrites I E C radiation standards on endurance of insulating materials. For the past eight years, he has been the organizer of the Department of Energy Conferences on Compatibility, Aging, and Service Life.
