SAMMS Awarded American Chemical Society Regional Industrial Innovation Award
Glen Fryxell, Energy Science and Technology Directorate, is a recipient of the American Chemical Society Regional Industrial Innovation Award. Glen received the award for co-developing and commercializing Self-Assembled Monolayers on Mesoporous Supports, a powerful new class of sorbent materials that combines two novel technologies to selectively sequester heavy metals and radionuclides. SAMMS demonstrates great promise for rapid and effective chemical separation of complex mixtures and remediation of hazardous wastes. SAMMS is versatile and has proven effective for a wide range of applications in industry, medicine, and environmental cleanup. The world's largest scientific society, ACS advances the chemical enterprise and increases public understanding of chemistry. (announced 7/1/2006)
