EW #414  was established to implement practical new solutions to old problems using current polymer and coating technology and market knowledge. We bring to bear technology from the paper, textiles, electronics, plastics and rubber industries for cross-fertilization concepts. This may result in a lower cost process or formulation for the client, a new monomer or polymer, establishment of a new market for the client, or some combination of interdisciplinary technologies. For instance, a polymeric armor production problem may be eliminated through use of paper industry technology.

EW #414 is a proven innovator and inventor with over thirty years experience in polymers, coatings, contract research and consulting. He has won awards from paper and coatings technical associations for presentations on technical advances by groups he headed or for whom he was a spokesman. Associates  are generally hired on a part time basis, and are chosen for their expertise in a particular field.

EW #414  took 20 years to work his way through college, getting a B.S. from the University of Maryland in 1964, and a Ph. D. from the University of Delaware in 1974. Although his academic background was organic chemistry, he claims only about six months of that in his experience, as he became a latex maker shortly thereafter. His 30+ years experience includes work with a paper company, three rubber companies, a plastics company and the Mellon Institute.

He has operated his own international consulting firm for more than fourteen years, and is a prize winning author and speaker. He has been awarded several patents, has written a book on emulsion polymers , and contributes regularly columns in magazines in Europe and the US.

He is a member of the American Chemical Society, Golden Gate Society for Coatings Technology, Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry and the Computer Press Association. He is listed in Who's Who, and in American Men and Women of Science, and is a member of the science honor society, Sigma Xi. He taught for the extension divisions of CSU(Fullerton) and UC(Berkeley), and was an adjunct Professor at California Polytechnic State University January through June '91.
