NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS
A. Begelinger: (for biographic note see Wear, 22 (1972) H. Christensen:
419).

William R. Cimino: was born in Newport Beach, CA, and received his S.B. and S.M. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of Professor Robert M. Rose. His outstanding scholastic achievement and independent undergraduate research projects won him recognition in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and he was the recipient of a Hughes Fellowship in 1979. His S.M. thesis is entitled The Comparative Wear Evaluation of Polyethylenes for Total Joint Arthroplasty. He is at present a student at Yale Medical School, New Haven, CT. Aldo Crugnola: is now Dean of Engineering at the University of Lowell. From 1973 to 1977 he was Chairman of the Department of Plastics Technology at Lowell. He is the author of fifty articles and technical papers about the relation between the chemicalphysical structure of polymeric materials and their mechanical-physical properties, the effect of processing on the structure and properties of polymeric materials, the processing and properties of reinforced plastics and the use of plastics in orthopaedic surgery. H. Czichos: (for biographic note see Wear, 17 (1971)
228).
S. Danyluk: (for biographic note see Wear, 63 (1980)
197).
A. W. J. de Gee: (for biographic note see Wear, 17 (1971)
88).
Edward Ellis: received his MS. degree in plastics engineering and his Ph.D. in polymer science from the University of Lowell. Before returning to the University of Lowell, he was employed by Uniroyal and Amicon in the area of product development. He currently holds the position of senior research associate with the University of Lowell Research Foundation. In this capacity he directs a biopolymers research group which specializes in orthopaedic implant materials under contact from the National Institute of Health. His other research interests include monomer and polymer synthesis, polymer characterization, water-compatible polymers and the biomedical applications of polymers. For the past several years he also has been active as a consultant in the area of polymer-based materials. He is a member of the American Chemical Society and the Society of Plastics Engineers. M. Godet: (for biographic note see Wear, 22 (1971) E. P. Kingsbury:

Robert M. Rose: was awarded the Sc.D. degree by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1961 and continued at MIT as assistant professor of metallurgy and Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow. In 1966 he was promoted to associate professor and in 1972 to Professor of Materials Science and Engineering. In this period he performed research on the metallurgy and plasticity of transition metals, superconductivity and superconducting materials, and orthopaedics. Since 1969 he has performed research on mechanochemical failure of silicone elastomer implants, failure of fracture fixation devices and total joint prostheses, friction and wear of total joint prostheses, osteoarthritis, in uiuo mechanical and chemical behaviour of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and corrosion fatigue of orthopaedic implants. G. W. Rowe: read mechanical sciences (1944) and natural sciences (part II physics, 1950) at Cambridge. His Ph.D. thesis on adhesion of clean metals was written in the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces Laboratory. He was head of lubrication and wear research in Tube Investments Research Laboratories from 1955 to 1960. He then became senior lecturer in industrial metallurgy at Birmingham University until 1972 and he is now professor of mechanical engineering. He received his D.Sc. in 1968 for work on tribology and metal working. He is a fellow of the Institute of Physics, of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and of the Royal Society of Arts. His current research includes running-in, grinding and cutting fluids, metal deformation processes and bioengineering. He was recently awarded the Tribology Silver Medal for 1981.
