is shared, new products, new technology and new ideas are introduced, business is
conducted, developed and gained, fun is had, encouragement and empowerment happen,
and the future is embraced.
It has been way too long since we have all been together!
Don't miss out on:
Over 150 companies/organizations exhibiting at the expo
90 presentations at the 200th Technical Meeting, including a special "Frontiers"
Symposia
Eleven courses to learn from at the Educational Symposium
WORD Workshop for women
Science & Technology Awards Luncheon & Presentations
Career Fair, Student Symposium, networking events & more

Help Us Design Our Next T-Shirt!
Remember our Think Rubber and Sheldon Cooper (I'm rubber, you're glue) t-shirts? Well, we
have retired those and it's now time for a new t-shirt design/concept. We are looking for ideas
- a slogan or phrase, a play off of periodic table elements, something IEC/Pittsburgh
related...whatever comes to mind.
You could win a $100 gift card if your idea is selected! Email your idea to gc@rubber.org
today.
Help us extend our outreach to Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Engineering students
who have expressed an interest in the polymer industry; however, don’t have polymer
focused programming at their college/university. This is a new audience we are working to
reach – undergraduate students who do not attend schools where we have student chapters.
We need to make all aspects of our industry known to these students and there is no better
way to achieve that than to bring several of them to our International Elastomer Conference.
This will be a great opportunity for these students to gain more knowledge specific to our
industry, make connections, and show them how amazing our industry is and why they
should be a part of it!
We are seeking support to assist with covering 20 student’s hotel, meal and transportation
costs, so we can make this possible. The number of students we can bring depends on the
support we receive.
Support Options:
· Sponsor a Student for $750
· Sponsor a School (four students from same school) for $3,000
In addition to the pride you will receive in knowing you are actively working to bring a younger
generation into our industry to ensure its continued success, sponsoring companies will
receive:
· Mention of your support in an IEC Daily article during the conference and in a post IEC
Daily article (in Rubber World’s November issue) about this initiative
· Mention of your support in social media posts about this initiative
· Logo in a thank you ad in the IEC Guide and IEC Dailies
This will take some coordination, so the sooner we are able to move forward with this, the
better. Email Gretchen Cermak at gc@rubber.org as soon as possible if you are interested in
providing support.

A Digital Collection Of Stories In History
From the famous, to the infamous, to the never heard of,
The Story Podcast uncovers the little known backstories of
people who have built companies, products, inventions, and
brands that have changed the way we live. History builds the
present. Where we are today is a result of where we have
been. Yet, some of the stories that got us here have
remained in the shadows. And the true stories of the people
and inventions that have built our world are often lost to
time. Our only hope for building a better future is to truly
understand what got us to the present.

Akron Stories Project
The Akron Stories Project is a grassroots
initiative to collect, preserve, and celebrate
the stories of Akron’s rubber workers and
their descendants.
In the late 19th century, Ohio emerged as a
leading manufacturer of rubber products,
with many of the largest tire and rubber
companies in the United States based in the
Akron, making it the “Rubber Capital of the
World.” For more than 100 years, people
flocked from all over the world to earn a
good wage and pursue their dreams in
Akron. These rubber workers helped The
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, The
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, B.F.
Goodrich, General Tire, The Mohawk
Rubber Company, Seiberling Rubber
Company, and more earn tremendous
wealth, and propelled America through a
period of unrivaled leadership, innovation,
and industrial success.

Blast From The Past: Chairman and Goodyear Medalist
Ray P. Dinsmore was a rubber scientist, known for pioneering
the use of rayon as a reinforcing material in auto tires. In 1928,
Dinsmore patented the first water-emulsion synthetic rubber in
the United States.The material later became a staple of the
rubber industry during the World War II shortage of natural
rubber. Dinsmore worked for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company and developed Chemigum, an early synthetic rubber.
Dinsmore served as Chairman of the Rubber Division of the
American Chemical Society in 1927. He received the 1947
Colwyn medal and was named the 1955 Charles Goodyear
Medalist.
