SWOSU Digital Commons, 2009Co-Authors: Southwestern Oklahoma State UniversityAbstract:Southwestern Oklahoma State University is well represented at this week’s Miss Oklahoma Pageant activities in Tulsa. In addition to Miss Southwestern 2009 Kaeli Jo Carothers Southwestern Oklahoma State University has two young women in Miss Oklahoma Pageant activities this week in Tulsa. Ashley Nicole Wheeler (left) of Altus is representing SWOSU in the Miss Oklahoma Teen Pageant and Kaeli Jo Carothers (right) of Hollis is Miss Southwestern 2009 at the Miss Oklahoma Pageant. Serving as chaperone is Miss Southwestern Pageant co-director Debbie Brown (center). Not pictured is pageant co-director Rebecca Manney who is also serving as chaperone. The teen pageant finals are Friday night and the Miss Oklahoma Pageant finals are Saturday night, both at 7:30 p.m. in Tulsa’s Mabee Center.https://dc.swosu.edu/barkpic09/1255/thumbnail.jp

controlling molecular weight of a high efficiency donor acceptor conjugated polymer and understanding its significant impact on photovoltaic properties
Advanced Materials, 2014Co-Authors: Liqiang Yang, John R Tumbleston, Liang Yan, Harald Ade, Wei YouAbstract:The molecular weight (MW) of PBnDT-FTAZ can be precisely controlled by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of the two monomers, following the Carothers equation. The study of a set of PBnDT-FTAZ polymers with different MWs reveals that the MW significantly influences the morphology and structural order of PBnDTFTAZ in its bulk heterojunction solar cells, with the highest efficiency (over 7%) achieved with the use of a MW of 40 000 g mol(-1) .

Paul Flory and the dawn of polymers as a science
Resonance, 2017Co-Authors: Swaminathan SivaramAbstract:If Wallace Carothers was the designer, Flory was the architect and builder of the ediflce of polymer science. If Carothers was the composer, Flory was the man who wrote the notes for the music. Carothers and Flory represent the quintessential qualities that are needed to make great science–intuition and rationality, experiment and theory, fiights of imagination and diligent reduction to practice, exuberance and rigour.

Wallace Hume Carothers and the birth of rational polymer synthesis
Resonance, 2017Co-Authors: Swaminathan SivaramAbstract:Wallace Hume Carothers holds a place of pride amongst the pantheons of twentieth-century chemists who transformed our way of thinking, and brought an entirely new perspective to a branch of science. Polymer science fiourished in the years after Carothers as never before, and led to the creation of a new industry–vibrant, useful, and exciting. The greatness of Carothers lies in the profound, yet simple questions he asked, and the clarity and deflnitiveness with which he provided the answers. In a short working span of eleven years, he left behind an incredible legacy of achievements which ordinary mortals cannot even dream of accomplishing in several lifetimes. This article chronicles the life and times of Wallace Carothers, the men and the institutions that inspired him, his seminal contributions to polymer chemistry; the mood of melancholy that permeated his persona and which ultimately cost him his life.

Promoting the Rule of Law Abroad: In Search of Knowledge
Perspectives on Politics, 2006Co-Authors: Miles KahlerAbstract:Promoting the Rule of Law Abroad: In Search of Knowledge. Edited by Thomas Carothers. Washington, DC: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2006. 350p. $50.00 cloth, $19.95 paper. The checkered history of rule-of-law promotion is only one part of a larger program of external intervention that has aimed to reshape economic policies and political institutions throughout the post–Cold War world. Those efforts—labeled good governance, state building, and postconflict intervention—have, if anything, intensified and broadened since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This dispassionate and valuable evaluation of rule-of-law promotion reflects directly on the record of international assistance for legal reform, as well as the likely success of that even more ambitious agenda. Two introductory essays by Thomas Carothers, well known for his research on democracy promotion, offer a critical account of international assistance for legal reform, emphasizing the knowledge deficit that plagues claims of successful international influence. The following chapters attempt to fill that knowledge gap, at the same time underlining obstacles to sharper evaluation and learning on the part of donors and practitioners.

semiconducting and metallic polymers the fourth generation of polymeric materials
Mrs Bulletin, 2001Co-Authors: Alan J HeegerAbstract:Prior to receiving the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2000 for my work in polymers, polymer science had been recognized three times. The first Nobel Prize in chemistry for polymer science was awarded in 1953 to Hermann Staudinger, for his pioneering work in the 1920s. At that time, the concept of macromolecules was new, and his ideas were controversial. However, the data prevailed, and he was awarded the Prize “for his discoveries in the field of macromolecular chemistry.” The next major event in polymer science was the discovery and invention of nylon by Wallace Carothers at the Dupont Company in 1935. Although Carothers died as a young man, his discoveries created an industry. I have little doubt that his work was deserving of a Nobel Prize and probably would have been awarded. The next related Prize went to Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta in 1963 for their work on polymer synthesis in the 1950s. The Ziegler–Natta catalysts made possible the large-scale production of polymers such as polypropylene. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry “for their discoveries in the field of chemistry and technology of high polymers.” In 1974, the Prize for chemistry went to Paul J. Flory, who was a giant in this field. He was awarded the Nobel “for his fundamental achievements, both theoretical and experimental, in the physical chemistry of macromolecules.”
