| Popis: | It is, indeed, a very great honor to have been chosen as the Charles Goodyear Medalist for 1967, and I very much appreciate the opportunity of coming here to tell you about some of the research work in the field of rubber with which I have been associated for a number of years. The bylaws of the Division of Rubber Chemistry, A.C.S., require that the recipient of this award deliver a lecture before the Division on a subject that is related to the elastomer field and presented in accordance with the contribution for which the medal is awarded. It should, therefore, be quite appropriate for me to discuss one of my favorite subjects, the crystallization of natural rubber. My first thought was to talk on a broader subject, transitions in rubber, which would have included the glass transition, but such a paper was found to be much too long. Even the subject of the crystallization and melting transition is so broad that only a very condensed version can be given here today. In fact, the references for a proper review would run into the hundreds, so therefore I decided to restrict the paper to cover only the research work that has taken place in our own laboratories of the National Bureau of Standards. I should like to consider this award as one given not to me alone but rather to the group of us at the National Bureau of Standards who have been conducting scientific research on rubber during the past few decades. The names of most of these investigators who have made contributions in the area of rubber crystallization will appear in the bibliography of the published paper, but I should like at this time to name a few of the senior scientists whose work we shall discuss here. |
