Engineering Management
Expert has been involved with the re-engineering of new product development processes, creation of total quality management programs, and organizational structure changes for process engineering and research and development functions for two major medical device manufacturers (i.e. Johnson & Johnson…
Electrical Connectors
Expert has applied his physics background to generate a fundamental understanding of temperature generation and material transport in electrical contact spots (a-spots) in bulk electrical interfaces. Over 25 years, his research showed that 1) Sintering effects occur in a-spots even…
Polymer Rheology and Plastics Processing
Expert is currently working on constitutive modeling of the extensional behavior of molten plastics. He has developed models that allow the behavior in extension to be inferred from measurements in exponential shear. The material behavior in exponential shear is measured…
Chemical Analysis, Polymer Characteristics
Expert P. Expert has devoted a large part of his 40-year career to polymer characterization and macromolecular physical sciences. As a physical polymer chemist at the US Rubber Company and for some 35 years afterwards at Allied Chemical/AlliedSignal, much of…
Polymer Selection for Food, Automotive, and Electronic Markets
Expert has an in-depth understanding of the high-pressure synthesis copolymerization of ethylene with combinations of co-monomers such as acrylates, vinyl acetate, (meth)acrylic acid, and carbon monoxide. His knowledge results from the high-pressure pilot plant work performed under his direction to…
