Book Description

Excerpt from Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory: Fy 2005 Programs and Accomplishments; Polymers Division I am pleased to report to you the results of a strong year for the Polymers Division. Our staff and researcher collaborators continue to be acknowledged for their work in important areas, and in my summary, I would like to note some of these recognitions received this year. As an agency of the Department of Commerce, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (nist) focuses on work, often in collaboration with industry, to foster innovation, trade, security, and jobs. This year, our efforts have been recognized by two awards specifically related to service to industry. Based on research, patenting, and technology transfer activities that resulted in commercialization of polymeric amorphous calcium phosphate compositions as dental restoratives, the Federal Laboratory Consortium (f LC) awarded Joseph Antonucci the 2005 flc Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. This prestigious award, judged by representatives from industry, state and local government, academia, and federal laboratories, recognizes outstanding work in transferring federal laboratory developed technology to industry. Also this year, the Secretary of Commerce awarded the Department of Commerce Silver Medal for Customer Service to the nis T Combinatorial Methods Center, specifically Eric J. Amis.
