2015 Charles G. Overberger International Prize for Excellence in Polymer Research
This biennial award recognizes and encourages accomplishments of unusual merit in the field of basic or applied polymer science. Kris Matyjaszewski from Carnegie Mellon University is the honored 2015 recipient.
2015 Overberger Award: (l-r in rightmost image) R. Laine (Univ. of Michigan), R. Advincula (POLY Chair), K. Matyjaszewski (Carnegie Mellon Univ.)
2013 Charles G. Overberger International Prize for Excellence in Polymer Research:
This is a biennial award recognizes and encourages accomplishments of unusual merit in the field of basic or applied polymer science. James E. McGrath is the honored 2013 recipient. McGrath’s current research interests are focused in the area of synthesis and characterization of high performance matrix polymers and structural adhesives, high-temperature polymer dielectrics for computers, fire-resistant polymers and composites; and new directly copolymerized sulfonated aromatic copolymers for proton exchange membranes (fuel cells). This new program is sponsored by ACS MACRO, PMSE, and POLY.
