FOREWORD
The ACS SYMPOSIU
a medium for publishing symposi quickly
format of the Series parallels that of the continuing ADVANCES
IN CHEMISTRY SERIES except that in order to save time the
papers are not typeset but are reproduced as they are sub
mitted by the authors in camera-ready form. Papers are re
viewed under the supervision of the Editors with the assistance
of the Series Advisory Board and are selected to maintain the
integrity of the symposia; however, verbatim reproductions of
previously published papers are not accepted. Both reviews
and reports of research are acceptable since symposia may
embrace both types of presentation.

FRANK A. BOVEY's research interests center around the application of
NMR spectroscopy to the study of structure, dynamics, and morphology of
synthetic polymers and bio poly mers. He has made major contributions to
these fields, primarily through the development of techniques to determine
microstructure in homopolymer and copolymer chains and in the discovery
and characterization of defect structures in vinyl and related polymers. He is
the head of the Polymer Chemistry Research Department at Bell Laborato
ries, Murray Hill, N.J.
Dr. Bovey was born in Minneapolis in 1918. He received a B.S. degree
in chemistry from Harvard in 1940, worked during World War II for the
National Synthetic Rubber Corporation, a 3M subsidiary, and entered
graduate school at the University of Minnesota as a Rubber Reserve Fellow
in 1945. His thesis work, carrie
dealt with the mechanism of free radical polymerization. During this time he
worked out the mechanism of oxygen inhibition and discovered oxygen
sty re ne copolymers.
After receiving his Ph.D. in 1948, Dr. Bovey returned to 3M, now in the
Central Research Department, where he was made a research associate in
1955. It was at 3M, during the period from 1956 to 1962, that he conducted
his pioneering investigations into the characterization of polymers using
NMR techniques. He reported some of the first high-resolution proton
NMR spectra of polymers in the late 1950s, at a time when it was still
generally assumed that the spectra of macromolecules were too complex to
interpret. Exploiting the rich detail in these spectra, he developed NMR
techniques that are now used routinely in measuring the microstructure of
polymer chains. These NMR methods made possible for the first time the
determination and quantification of the stereochemical configurations of
noncrystallizable polymers.
In 1962 Dr. Bovey joined Bell Laboratories as a member of the
technical staff, and was appointed to his present position in 1967. He
continued his detailed studies of polymer structure and conformation at Bell
Laboratories, and extended the scope of his work to include investigations of
nuclei other than protons, branch analyses in polyethylene, and determina
tion of defect structures in vinyl and related polymers. He continues to have
a vigorous research program in the areas of polymer conformations in the
solid state, polymer morphology, and the mechanisms of polymer stabiliza
tion and degradation.
Dr. Bovey has published more than 125 papers on his exploratory
research on polymers and has contributed about 20 chapters to books in the
field. He has written or has been coauthor of 10 books, including "Macro
molecules, an Introduction to Polymer Science" with F. H. Winslow in 1979
and "Chain Structure and Conformation of Macromolecules" in 1982.

He has served on an ad hoc panel of the National Academy of Sciences
for the study of guayule rubber, and is currently serving on the nominating
committee for a National Research Council panel on Polymer Science and
Engineering. He has recently served on the Chemistry Panel of the National
Research Council Fellowship Office; on the National Research Council
Evaluation Panel for the Center for Materials Science of the National
Bureau of Standards; on the Study Section for the National Institute of
General Medicine (NIH) Shared Instrumentation Program; and both on the
organizing committee and as a member of the U.S. delegation to the 1979
China U.S. Bilateral Polymer Symposium (Beijing, October 1979), spon
sored by the National Academy of Sciences. He is a member of the award
committee for the Baker Award of the National Academy of Sciences. In
addition, he serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Polymer
Science—Polymer Chemistry
associate editor of Macromolecules.
Many awards and honors attest to Dr. Bovey's contributions to poly
mer science. He received the Union Carbide Award of the Minnesota
Section of the ACS in 1962. In 1969 he received the Witco Award in
Polymer Chemistry of the ACS and the Outstanding Achievement Award of
the University of Minnesota. In 1974 he was awarded the Ford High
Polymer Physics Prize of the American Physical Society. In 1978 he received
the Nichols Medal Award of the New York Section of the ACS and delivered
the Whitby Memorial Lectures at the University of Akron. His receipt in
1983 of the American Chemical Society Award in Applied Polymer Science,
sponsored by Phillips Petroleum Company, was the occasion for the sympo
sium in his honor on which this book is based.
Dr. Bovey is a member of the American Chemical Society, the Ameri
can Physical Society, the American Society of Biological Chemists, the New
York Academy of Sciences, Sigma Xi, and Phi Lambda Upsilon. He was
elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1975.
