Common and unifying characteristics of contemporary, successful industrial research scientists and engineers include not only extensive training in their field, but also a willingness and desire to explore new areas, to solve problems with a multidisciplinary team approach, to work outside traditional boundary roles and for their activities to be directly relevant to either the organization's tactical or strategic goals.  A reflection of two-and-half decades of successful research and development, whose foundation was cast by Professor Samuel J. Huang, will be discussed in this paper. Technical topics to be shared include polymer synthesis/modification, polymer processing, polymer analysis and characterization.
