Crivello Awarded ACS-PMSE Fellowship
January 10, 2007
James Crivello, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology,
has been selected from a very competitive field to join the
prestigious ranks of the Polymeric Materials: Science and
Engineering (PMSE) Fellows in 2007.
He will be inducted as one of four 2007 PMSE Fellows (the
eighth class) during the PMSE/POLY Awards Reception at the
Chicago ACS National Meeting on Monday, March 26,
2007.
Crivello received his B.S. in chemistry from Aquinas College
in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1962 and his Ph.D. in organic
chemistry from the University of Notre Dame in 1966. He joined
the General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center
in 1966 and was for several years a research project manger.
His fields of activity include: organic nitrations, oxidations,
and arylations, polyimides, silicones, and new photo- and
thermal initiators for cationic and free radical
polymerizations. In 1980, he was elected a Coolidge Fellow by
the staff at GE Corporate Research and Development and spent
the 1986-87 year as a visiting scientist at the University of
Mainz with Prof. Helmut Ringsdorf in the Federal Republic of
Germany. He joined the faculty at the Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute in 1988 as professor and currently he directs a
number of graduate students and postdoctoral associates in
various aspects of research in the synthesis of polymers and
copolymers by cationic, free radical and transition metal
catalysis.
