I am also offering this longer CV that includes all my publications: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B4xCrliPLFA3YTZmOThkMTUtNTc4OC00MGZiLThkY2UtZWY1NjI0OTk0ODY2&hl=en
I am still able to do custom research for clients. If the work does not require laboratory access (such as writing a patent, or developing an IP position), you can deal with me as an individual consultant (email me at <roger.faulkner@rethink-technologies.com>). I also have a deal to work as a PI (principle investigator) for Associated Polymer Labs, using their lab facilities and technicians, where that fits. If you have a project in mind where my talent and knowledge would be very useful, but there needs to be a lab component to the project too, you should speak with Jim Zwynenburg <info@testplastic.com> at Associated Polymer Labs (http://www.testplastic.com/); any development project in which I use Associated Polymer Labs equipment will be contracted through them. Examples of projects that I have previously proposed which are still very promising include these:
- Pressure-certified microballoons;
- Advanced syntactics
- wood-like composites with good nail-ability and low creep rate
- advanced VIP panel cores
- fluoropolymer-based rubber & plastic blends, including both thermoplastic elastomer rubber-plastic dynamic vulcanizates and low die-swell, high green strength rubber-rubber dynamic vulcanizates;
- elastomer cure system development
- Reactive polymer processing, including approaches based on internal mixers, extruders, and polymerization of liquids (such as especially reaction wave polymerization)
- nanocomposites, especially for electrical insulation, permeation resistance, or electrical conductivity.
