Morton, Charles

Professor Mark s story is told in three chapters by the Editor and four reminiscences by Rudolf Brill (whose association with Mark dates back to 1922), Hans Mark (his son), Linus Pauling, and Maurice Morton. The history of polymer science is given in separate chapters by the Editor, Robert Simha (who has worked with Professor Mark in two countries), and Carl Speed Marvel. One chapter by Charles Carraher gives an up to the minute report on the status of polymer education. The remainder of the book is a collection of reviews and previews of specific, timely topics in polymer science. Despite the diversity of topics, each area covered has contributions from Herman Mark. 

Some of the older polymer institutions grew, such as the rubber and polymer based institute at the University of Akron, which was formed in the 1940 s, and where Maurice Morton took the Directorship in 1954. Others remained essentially the same and still others slipped. "Brooklyn Poly", the center of academic polymer chemistry in the USA in the 1940 s and 1950 s remained as such but became less dominant because a number of their excellent staff left to found other institutes. For instance, Charles Over-berger, who rose to Dean of Science and Director of the Polymer Research Institute, left in 1967 to take the chairmanship of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan where he helped found their macromolecular based institute. 

Thanks go to Paul Anderson, Frank Ascione, Jerome Bimbaum, Lewis Cantley, Jennifer Darnell, Robert Darnell, Bink Garrison, Lori Morton, Mark Murcko, Larry Stemson, and Leslie Vosshall. I am also indebted to Bonnie Bassler, Milos Novotny, and Charles Wysocki who provided reprints and preprints of manuscripts covering important work cited in this book. Aspects of the structure of chapters 3-6 derive in part from a general chemistry textbook that I coauthored with Riley Schaeffer many years ago and thanks are due to Riley for his contributions.
