Tess Award from Tim Bunting, Ph.D., chair of the American Chemical Society's Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering (PMSE) Division, in August 2021 during the 262nd National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Atlanta, Ga. An evening reception in honor of the Tess award recipient and other PMSE and POLY award winners also will be held at the meeting.
The PMSE Division presents the annual Tess Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to coatings science, engineering, and technology. Funded by a grant from Dr. and Mrs. Roy W.
