Biographical Sketch: R. J. Del Vecchio
Technical Consulting Services
Raleigh, NC
After a career in the rubber industry with companies like BF Goodrich, Lord, and Barry Controls, Del founded a fulltime consulting service in late 1990. Much of his work is based on his long experience with engineering applications of rubber, and the normal technical skills involved in compounding and processing a wide variety of elastomers. He is a user of, and instructor in, SPC and Design of Experiments, as they apply to the polymer industries.
His book on practical application of DOE in the rubber and plastics industries, sponsored by SPE, was released by Hanser Press in 1997, and was reprinted several times. He published A Beginner’s Guide to Rubber Technology (October 2001) and edited Fundamentals of Rubber Technology for the Rubber Division (March 2003), and is working on an expanded revision of his text on DOE.
