Georg Bohm (scientist)
Georg Bohm is a retired Vice President of Research and Technology for Bridgestone Americas noted for the development of electron beam pre-curing of elastomers.[1][2][3]
Education
[edit]- BS Electrical Engineering, University of Vienna
- 1962 – Ph.D. Physics from University of Vienna in Austria
Between 1963 and 1967, he held scientific/academic positions at: the Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry in Gottingen, Germany, Seoul National University in Korea, the University of Bandung in Indonesia, and Northwestern University in Illinois.
Career
[edit]- 1967 – Radiation Research Laboratories of Firestone Corp. in Westbury, New York[4]
- 2005 – retired from Bridgestone Americas as VP Research and Technology[5]
- 2010 – President of Appia LLC
Bohm's most cited work considered the effect on blend morphology of molecular weight, glass transition temperature, and composition for EPDM/BR blends.[6]
Awards
[edit]- 2016 – Charles Goodyear Medal of the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society[7]
