PMSE History, Week 4: Last year, @acspmse received a phenomenal donation of valuable papers from Past Chair Frank Jones. Included was this gem - our 1941 membership roster. Just imagine, some of the scientists listed in here were probably born in the 1880s - maybe even the 1870s.

PMSE History, week 3: In 1958, @acspmse ‘s major operating expense was Preprints. The Doolittle (Union Carbide) Award had just been launched. It’s a loss for us 21st century volunteers, I think, to have never done division business by telegram…or used the addressograph machine.

🎉 Congratulations to the 2026 Class of #PMSE Emerging Professionals!

We’re proud to recognize these rising leaders in polymer science & engineering.

🧪 Honorees will be featured in a symposium at #ACSFall2026
📍 Chicago, IL
🗓 Aug. 24–27, 2026

👏 Join us in celebrating them!

PMSE History, Week 2: 50 and 25 years ago (1975 and 2000), @acspmse published encyclopedias as part of 50th/75th anniversary celebrations. The “21st Century” book is still found on bookshelves but the 1975 one is rare. The start of each’s TOC is a peek into research at the time.

PMSE’s Centennial has concluded but there’s no deadline on appreciating history. We’ll feature archive materials here throughout 2025!

Here’s PMSE History for Week 1: A 1942 letter chiding the ACS Divisions for scandalously irresponsible meeting timekeeping!
