APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE
Applications are invited for the 2008 ICI Student Award in Applied Polymer Science sponsored by the Polymer Education Committee of the ACS Divisions of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering and Polymer Chemistry.
Graduate students, either currently in graduate school, or not more than one year beyond graduation, are invited to submit a research paper for presentation at the 2008 Fall ACS Meeting in Philadelphia, PA. The paper should conform to the preprint format of the PMSE Division, and be commensurate with the regulations and customs of papers presented at PMSE/ACS programs.
Up to six finalists will be selected based on the scientific merit of the submitted papers. Out-of-pocket expenses up to $750 will be available to each finalist to attend the ACS meeting and present his/her paper in the ICI Award Symposium within the PMSE program. The paper must be presented by the student, not by the co-author/thesis advisor. The awardee will be chosen by an anonymous evaluation committee that will audit the presentations.
The Award, consisting of $1600 and a plaque, will be presented at the PMSE Division luncheon at the following Spring meeting. All finalists will receive a one-year complimentary membership in the PMSE Division.
Instructions regarding application procedures are available from:
