STATE-OF-THE-SCIENCE
TRAINING
Polymer Properties: Meeting High Tokology CMenges Parti An American Chemical Society Interactive Satellite Television Course Friday, November 17,1989 1-4 pm Eastern Time Be a part of this exciting educational event. Join scientists from around the country as you learn about new applications of elastomeric, radiation sensitive, and nonlinear optical properties of polymers in Part I of this new polymer technology series. Three distinguished experts present key aspects of the latest polymer technology, including: • the chemical and physical behavior of polymers as they relate to the needs of high tech applications • how polymers are emerging as a new class of non-linear materials for photonics • new ideas for applications of elastomers in areas such as electronics • how simple chemical concepts can be applied to novel designs for radiation sensitive polymers that are applicable to microelectronics Presented in a unique, interactive format, the course covers: • What novel fillers are used in elastomers • The unique properties of elastomer-modified ceramics • What structural features are required for non-linear optical effects • How and what to measure to determine if a polymer is suitable for photonic applications • What components should be incorporated into a structure to confer radiation sensitivity • Ways to prepare novel radiation sensitive structures that meet processing requirements
The Panel of Experts Dr. James E. Mark, Course Coordinator, is Distinguished Research Professor, Polymer Research Center, University of Cincinnati. Dr. Paras Nath Prasad is Professor of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, State University of New York—Buffalo. Dr. Jean M. J. Fréchet is Professor of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Cornell University.

Who Should Take This Course If you're involved in developing polymers for applications that require such properties as the ability to record or transmit information, and if you work in industry, academe, or government and have an interest in basic or applied research and development, this course is for YOU! Practicing professionals and students will benefit from this course. A basic knowledge of organic and polymer chemistry is assumed.
Why Take This Course? Here are some of the enthusiastic comments from participants in a recent ACS Satellite Television Course: "Well-done, informative, educational, organized. " Barbara Kunz; Senior Chemist; Glidden Co. Strongsville, OH "ACS satellite courses provide a very cost-effective means for a company to educate employees in an in-house setting. More people can be reached uHthout added expensefor travel. " Marc L. Ajello; Assistant Development Scientist Ciba Vision Corp.; Atlanta, GA
Sponsor Your Own Location—its Easy! Companies, universities, and ACS Local Sections—sponsoring a receiving location is a great way to provide a service, and a cost-effective way to provide state-of-thescience information to individuals in your community. And it's easy! All you need is a satellite dish (if you don't have one, you can rent à dish or use a nearby facility that has one). Call or write ACS for suggestions on how to make the arrangements.
