Bondable Biopolymers
Founder and CEO
2009-present
Accomplishments
Science Discovery After activation, biopolymers have long relaxation times and low crystallization rates during processing. Definition of Biopolymers: Biopolymers are polymers having long relaxation times and low crystallization rates after activation.
Technology Invention, granted US patent on processing technology of making products from biopolymers and additives. Bio additives can be loaded into the amorphous structures of the fibers and the opening up structures of biopolymer molecules at room T and the natural environment during processing.
Enterprise Products: Additives can be released both rapidly and gradually from products. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioabsorbability, strength, and control release biomedicines are all offered in one single fiber product.

Virginia Section 2011-2016
Marketing & Management Division (MMD) 2006-2009
During the 2006 Spring SPE Council meeting, proposed to update Robert's Rules of Order into:
The will of the majority must be carried out.
The right of the minority must be protected.
The voice of the individual must be heard and protected as well. I wish that I had proposed that The voice of the individual must be heard, protected, and awarded as well then.
Proposal of co-located ANTEC and NPE was heard and carried out.
Chairman of SPE Global Leader Identification and Development Committee 2007 – 2008

TOPCON 2013 (Shanghai of China) TPC (Technology Program Chair)
Member of Nominating Committee 2022 Brilliant idea, great story, and valuable services.
Polymer Analysis Division (PAD) 2005-present
Technology Program Chair 2008-2009 for ANTEC 2009(Chicago), and Chair of Board 2009-2010.
During ANTEC2009, PAD had a great reception with Industry and Academy hand in hand as its topic. Like the phrase chicken and egg going, Industry is the chicken laying down the eggs for the academy, and the academy foster the eggs and provide young professional for the industry. That is our sustainability.

Summary
In a time when professional societies are facing the fastest-paced and most complex changes, leading certain services are valuable services. 2. Science discovery is able to turn uncertain into certain, providing leading and certain. 3. Knowledge and Network are two top services provided by SPE. 4. These two services have come to a tipping point. 5. Facing this tipping point, we need to provide knowledge all via direct factors and play positive games while networking.
Additional Information
Student Chapter I joined SPE while pursuing my master degree at U of Akron. As a treasurer, I remember students then paid $10 to be a student member of SPE, and $20 can attend ANTEC, Student Chapter covering travel and hotel room fee. From ANTEC, student bring back three conference brochures (I, II, III) free, each of them 2-inches thick, information to support our degree theses writing. That is valuable knowledge. Many of us got job offers while attend receptions. So did I. Thank SPE for great networking.
Council Committee During CCOW meeting, each councilor had 10 mins to make proposal or just share some idea and story. Significant and valuable services can be produced, such as co-located ANTEC and NPE.
Division Level Reception during ANTEC, network Industry and Academy.
International Program Seed fund identify and develop global leaders to worldwide open new section offices and conferences.
Tipping Point I could go on and on with past glory times and events. Now, SPE is facing critical point. Fastest paced and most complex changes call for leading and certain. Science discovery is able to turn uncertain into certain, providing leading and certain. Facing this turning point, providing knowledge via direct factors, and playing positive games while networking will maximize the benefit of SPE.
