The industries that manufacture materials and components for electronic and optical-based systems are characterized by products that are rapidly superseded in the market by improved ones. This quick turnover stems from the intense competition among these industries and results in dramatic price erosion for products, once introduced. Consequently, these industries also require rapid technology transfer from the research laboratory onto the production line. Many of their products cannot be protected by patents, except for minor features. Therefore, the key to their competitive success is thoroughly characterized and integrated manufacturing processes, supported by process innovations. Since nearly all of the processes are chemically based, chemical engineers can play an important role in ensuring the success of these companies.

Work on the EDVAC was hindered after March 1946, however, when Eckert, Mauchly, and several other top engineers left the Moore School as a consequence of disputes about patent rights. The EDVAC was, nevertheless, finally completed in 1952. It stood 7 feet high, took up 500 square feet of floor area, and had more than 3500 vacuum tubes and 27,000 other electronic components. After its completion, the EDVAC was shipped to the Ballistic... 

The science and technology of polymer blends has now acquired an important position in the area of development of new polymeric materials. Moreover, the application of polymer blends has increased significantly and is expected to continue to grow. Of the total consumption of engineering polymers, more than 20 percent is currently thought to be composed of blends with important and various applications in the automotive, electrical and electronic industry, in computer and business equipment housings, in medical components, etc. Annually about 4900 patents related to polymer blends are published world-wide. 

K. Matyjaszewski in 1990. After he joined Prof. C. K. Ober s research group in the Department of Materials Science Engineering at Cornell University as a postdoctoral associate for 2 years, working with the development and applications of optoelectronic polymers, he returned to Korea in 1993 and worked to develop polymeric photonic devices as a Project Leader at the Photonic Switching Section at the Electronics Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) for IV2 years. He became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Polymer Science Engineering at Hannam University. Professor Kim was the recipient of the Excellent Scientist Award of the Korean Chemical Society for Polymer Chemistry in 1998. He has published more than 95 communications, papers, and review articles, a number of chapters in books, and 13 patents.
