Announcement

American Chemical Society Division of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry Membership and Preprint Information The Division of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry was founded in 1924 as the Paint and Varnish Division. Over the years, the interests of the Division's members have come to include adhesives, biomedical polymers, composites, electronic applications, plastics and other areas of applied polymer science and technology in addition to organic coatings. This diversity of interest is reflected in the symposia sponsored by the Division. R e c e n t titles include Biological Activities of Polymers, Plastics for the 1980s, Non-Polluting Paint Technology, Polymers and Coal, Fast Polymerization Reactions and Reaction Injection Molding, Emulsion Polymerization, and Avances in Coating Metals for Corrosion Protection. Since its founding, the Division has participated in all b u t two of the ACS's regular National Meetings. It frequently joins with other ACS Divisions in joint and co-sponsorship of symposia and is an active participant in the Macromolecular Secretariat. Member participation in program planning and in the operation of the Division is actively encouraged. Proceedings of the Division of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry meetings are published as preprints shortly before the ACS Spring and Fall national meetings. Combined, the t w o volumes bring about 1500 pages of current technical information to members. The preprints also have long term reference value and library subscriptions are available. Membership of the American Chemical Society is a prerequisite for full membership in the Division. Affiliate membership of the Division is available for non-members of the ACS; affiliate members receive the preprints and other benefits of membership, b u t may not vote or hold office in the Division. Division membership is U.S. $10.00 annually; affiliate membership is U.S. $12.00. Contact the Division's membership chairman for details: Dr. Theodore Provder, Glidden Division-SCM Corporation, 16651 Road, Strongsvflle, OH 44136/U.S.A.
