SUMMARY:ACS - Joint Meeting of Akron and Cleveland Sections
DESCRIPTION:Eric Rivet\nWestern Reserve Historical Society Curator of Collections and Exhibits\n\n“Baker Electric Motor Car” \nLocation\nBaker Electric Building\, 7100 Euclid Ave\, Cleveland OH 441034410344103 \nSchedule\n5:30 pm Networking\n6:30 pm Dinner\n7:00 pm Speaker Presentation \nRegistration:  RSVP to https://www.acscleveland.org/event/2024-akron-cleveland-acs-joint-meeting/  by Sept 3.\nMenu: Chicken marsala and Stuffed Shells\, Red-skinned potatoes\, Green beans with French-fried onions\, Salad and rolls\, Desert of associated pastries\, Iced tea\, coffee\, water\, and soda. \nThe Baker Electric Motor Car: In 1909\, the Baker Electric was the best selling electric vehicle in the world.  The car was lighter than other electric cars and used twelve lead acid batteries designed by Thomas Edison who famously drove a Baker. In New York City\, there were 15\,000 on the streets and charging stations scattered throughout the area. Cleveland architect Frank B Meade designed the Baker Electric Building for Walter C Baker as his car showroom in 1910.  Rohrheimer-Brooks\, Cleveland’s top interior design studio\, designed and decorated the showrooms and associated spaces. Faced with competition from gasoline-powered automobiles production ceased in 1919. The building was listed on the National Register for Historic Places in 2007 and was redeveloped into a LEED Silver certified tech incubator providing 52\,000 square feet of office and wet/dry laboratory space for emerging local companies. In 2010\, the City of Cleveland installed the city’s first public electric vehicle recharging station in front of Baker Electric. \nBiography: Eric Rivet has been a Curator of Collections and Exhibits at the WRHS since 2015. His responsibilities include planning and installing exhibitions that highlight the rich and diverse history of the region. Previously\, he was a Curator at The National WWIl Museum in New Orleans and holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Louisiana State University.

SUMMARY:ACS - 2024 Crano Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:DR. EMILY DERBYSHIRE\nProfessor of Chemistry at Duke University \n“Unraveling the Mysteries of Parasites” \n \nThe Crano Lecture: April 16 at 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm\, Missing Falls Brewery\nMorning technical lecture: 9:00 AM\, University of Akron\, Auburn Science and Engineering Center 122 \nThe Crano Memorial Lecture Series honors Dr. John Crano\, a chemist at PPG who had been instrumental in developing the photochromic materials for PPG’s polycarbonate eyeglass lenses.  This technology has become the basis for Transitions® eyeglasses.  Dr. Crano was a previous Chair of the Akron Section and an active ACS member for many years. \nBio.  Emily Derbyshire is an Associate Professor of chemistry at Duke University. She is also an Associate Professor of cell biology\, and Assistant Professor in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology. She earned her doctoral degree (2008) in chemistry from the UC Berkley.  The Derbyshire Lab uses both chemical tools and biological methods to uncover novel aspects of malaria parasite biology with the ultimate aim of identifying druggable targets. Projects range from developing assays for phenotypic and target-based screens to exploring biological pathways and identifying small molecules with potential therapeutic value. Their interdisciplinary collaborative program integrates chemical biology\, molecular biology and biochemistry to globally interrogate parasite biology. \nThe morning technical lecture will be held at the University of Akron\, Auburn Science and Engineering Center 122\, 9:00 AM on April 16\, 2024 “Chemical biology approaches to reveal parasite vulnerabilities”\nAbstract: Parasites have evolved to manipulate their host cells to survive\, but many mysteries remain about this intricate process. Within a single liver cell\, the Plasmodium parasite undergoes a transformation and then expands into a cohort of thousands that assaults our red blood cells and causes disease. To uncover molecular events that drive this elusive developmental stage of the parasite\, the Derbyshire lab employs chemical biology\, biochemistry and genomics. Through an integrative approach\, we develop and utilize small molecule probes\, gene sequencing technologies and forward genetic screens in liver cells to discover parasite and host processes critical to Plasmodium parasite infection. Our findings highlight the dependence of Plasmodium on host factors and reveal parasite vulnerabilities that may be exploited for future disease control efforts. \nThe Crano Lecture (evening) is entitled “Unraveling the Mysteries of Parasites”.\n            Missing Falls Brewery\n‘           540 S.

In this presentation\, B-alanine as a highly effective reinforcing element of thermoplastic elastomers will be first discussed. The reinforcement is attributable to the hierarchically assembled supramolecular structure composed of the B-sheet crystal and a brush layer of hydrocarbon polymer covalently connected be the surface of the B-sheet crystal. The morphology of the B-sheet-based supramolecular assembly can be tailored to range from fibrous with the longest dimension on the order of hundreds of nanometers to particulate with all three dimensions within twenty nanometers. The fibrous and particulate assemblies reinforce the elastomer in similar manners and only differ in small details. Application of the supramolecular reinforcement strategy to thermoset rubbers has also been explored and will be discussed. Next\, an application of B-alanine additives for recycling of ground rubber particles will be presented. The B-alanine additive engenders surface devulcanization of ground rubber particles (GRPs) and a spatially resolved acceleration of vulcanization of GRP-virgin rubber blends. The combination of such surface activity and reactivity improves the adhesion and eliminates the modulus contrast between GRPs and virgin rubber while keeping the necessary scorch time of vulcanization. The toughness of the resultant GRP-virgin rubber blend is significantly improved by a very small amount of the reactive B-alanine additive. \n“Very High Structure Carbon Blacks to Address Challenges in Tire Compound Performance”\nLewis B. Tunnicliffe\, Rubber Carbon Black R&D Director\, Birla Carbon\nOne of the fundamental properties of carbon black is its degree of structure. Structure of carbon black plays an important role in controlling many rubber compound properties by screening or occluding significant amounts of rubber matrix. These structure-property relationships will be briefly reviewed along with their implications for rubber compound design. Birla Carbon’s range of very high structure (VHS) carbon blacks will be discussed\, and their in-rubber performance in model truck tread formulations will be reviewed with a focus on improved abrasion resistance and hysteresis versus conventional carbon blacks. Benefits in terms of hysteresis and total tire rolling resistance are explored further using finite element analyses of truck tires at steady rolling conditions. \nPANEL DISCUSSION “Career Pathways”\nMasoud Rasavi\, Senior Materials Scientist\, Bridgestone Americas\nJacob Spoolstra\, Manufacturing Process Engineer\, The Kong Company\nMD Bhuiyan\, Sr. Principal Engineer – Research\, Collins Aerospace\nLewis B. Tunnicliffe\, Rubber Carbon Black R&D Director\, Birla Carbon\nThe panel will be focused on Career Pathways. They will discuss how they ended up in their current roles and the paths they took to get there. There will be tips for the students trying to enter the industry as well as for industry professionals looking to advance or change roles. The panelists may also touch on some hurdles they’ve faced and how they overcame them.

This automotive megatrend is primarily driven by regulatory pressure\, environmental concerns\, rubber industry needs as well as consumer perception. SI Group has been promoting sustainable as well as bio-sourced solutions for the rubber industry\, in particular\, rubber tackifiers and bonding agents. With this paper\, we would like to present an experimental rubber curing ultra-accelerator with sustainable & bio-sourced product attributes. The product benefits to the tires & TRG market will be discussed along with some case studies.\n“Therban HT:  Compounding with a New Heat Resistant HNBR Elastomer”\nVictor Nasreddine\, NA Technical Manager\, Arlanxeo\nTherban® HNBR\, Arlanxeo’s hydrogenated nitrile rubber\, is a specialty elastomer with excellent mechanical\, dynamic\, and sealing properties combined with resistance to tear\, abrasion\, and aging. It is used in demanding automotive\, industrial\, and oil and gas applications. Under the hood automotive operating temperatures continue to increase as airflow is reduced around components due to aerodynamic engineering and space saving designs. Therefore\, there is always a need for elastomers with improved heat resistance including HNBR. This paper presents the compounding and properties of Therban HT\, a polyamide reinforced HNBR elastomer with improved heat resistance\, in HNBR formulations.\n“Investigating the Dependence of Elastomeric Fracture on Temperature and Rate”\nZehao Fan\, Grad. Student in Polymer Science\, The University of Akron\, and 2024 Scholarship Winner\nDecades of elastomeric fracture phenomenology due to Thomas and Smith demonstrated a remarkable fact that rubbers are stronger and tougher at lower temperatures.  The prevailing explanation relates the fracture behavior to polymer viscoelasticity.  Given the recent insight and evidence that toughness is determined by strength\, we examine elastomeric fracture with a different perspective and conclude that chain scission dictates fracture characteristics including its temperature dependence.  Working within a selected temperature range\, stretching is shown to be entirely elastic at stretching rate below 0.17 s -1 \, we demonstrate that the same temperature and rate dependencies of strength and toughness\, observed by Thomas and Smith\, still occur in our crosslinked polybutadiene (BR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).  The temperature effects on rate dependence of strength and toughness are found to be much stronger than that prescribed by the WLF shift factor aT.  Moreover\, crack propagates\, upon either stepwise stretching or during creep\, at a much lower speed at lower temperature that cannot be rationalized with polymer relaxation dynamics.  Our new interpretation is that a carbon-carbon bond is stronger at a lower temperature\, equivalently\, it takes a longer time for a covalent bond to undergo dissociation in tension because available thermal energy is proportional to temperature T.\n
