个人简介

Dr. Alan K. Schrock is Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry, which he joined after a 26-year career with The Dow Chemical Company. Schrock is a former UWF student, too. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry at UWF before going to the University of Illinois, where he received a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. He teaches courses and works with undergraduates involved in research projects. His course load has included Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and other subjects. At Dow, a worldwide leader in specialty chemicals, Schrock held several positions, including head of a multinational Research and Development Team that designed next generation products. He was a founding member of Dow’s Corporate Sustainability Group. Schrock is co-holder of numerous patents and won an award in 2014 for co-inventing the NEPTUNE Subsea Insulation System, a breakthrough technology specifically engineered to withstand the increasingly harsh conditions associated with subsea oil production. He also is co-founder and directing manager of a company that consults of chemistry and polymers with a focus on bio-based materials and their applications. Schrock’s work has been published in Thermoplastic Elastomers Magazine, Adhesives and Sealants Industry Magazine, Polymeric Foams and others. B.S. Chemistry, University of West Florida Ph.D. Organic Chemistry, University of Illinois

研究领域

Dr. Schrock's research is focused in two areas: renewable resource-based polymers and reactive oligomers that can be converted to conductive films and coatings. He is also interested in novel boronic acid fluorescent materials that can also be converted to conductive polymers.
