Recognizing that insufficient attention was being given to polymer topics in the chemistry curriculum, the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry (POLY) formed the Polymer Education Committee in 1972. Shortly thereafter they were joined in this effort by the ACS Division of Organic Coatings and Plastics (now known as the Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering or PMSE), and the committee was called JPEC, the Joint Polymer Education Committee. Over the years, the Polymer Education Committee was very active and instituted a variety of programs...

The ACS High Polymer Forum, similar to today s Macromolecular Secretariat, with the help of C.S. Fuller and A.C. Elm, began meeting at the 19 16 Atlantic City ACS meeting. Through the efforts of the Polymer Forum, the Division of Paint, Varnish and Plastics Chemistry and others in 1948 a group of university and industry chemists petitioned the American Chemical Society to establish a separate division of Polymer Chemistry. After a probation period... 

Of note was (and continues to be) the efforts of the Joint Education Committees of the Divisions of Polymer Chemistry (chaired by Eli Pearce presently chaired by Guy Donaruma) and Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry (chaired by Charles Carraher). Most of the accomplishments noted following could not have been accomplished without the joint cooperation of these two committees which acted as one "super" committee. 

Under the leadership of Eli Pearce and Shalaby Shalaby, and the sponsorship of the Divisions of Polymer Chemistry and Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry, an entire issue of CHEMISTRY was devoted to polymer chemistry (Vol. 51, No. 5, June of 1978). Several thousand extra copies were purchased for a wide variety of... 

The Commission acknowledges the first structure-based nomenclature rules for organic ladder and spiro polymers proposed by the Nomenclature Committee of the Division of Polymer Chemistry of the American Chemical Society [9].
