The Assn. of Industrial Metallizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL) has issued additional information on the scholarship fund it created with the Society of Vacuum Coaters (SVC).

The fund is in honor of Dr. Bernard Henry of Oxford Univ., who passed away recently. Dr. Henry, says AIMCAL, “immersed himself in the question, ‘What really determines the permeation barrier properties of polymer/inorganic composites?’” The key ideas resulting from his work include the importance of micron-scale defects, the role of chemical modifications in improving permeation properties, and practical solutions to old problems on how to fabricate new and better materials.

AIMCAL and SVC have set a goal for the fund of $50,000. For more information contact James Seeser, chair, SVC Foundation, 5 Old Westbury Ln., St. Louis, MO 63119; 312-918-0160.
