The National Science Foundation established a small effort in polymer science. But, industry itself discovered that investment in polymer research could be profitable. Major expansions in research throughout the worldwide polymer industry led to one new discovery after another. And the military establishments decided they could not do without unique polymers, both in the United States and in the Soviet Union. WhUe individual workers needed to be entrepreneurial, there was money to be found somewhere. [Pg.79]

His thesis work, carried out under the direction of 1. M. Kolthoff, dealt with the mechanism of free radical polymerization. During this time he worked out the mechanism of oxygen inhibition and discovered oxygen styrene copolymers. [Pg.2]
