Resume' (CV) of:
Daniel J. Shanefield
- A WELL-KNOWN ACCOMPLISHMENT:
Created a "meme," which is a new idea that spreads by itself, without limit. (See first item in AVOCATIONS section, toward the end of this resume.)
NOTE: My "equalized double-blind test" was strongly resisted by the "golden ears" faction in audio research. However, it became accepted by the majority of audio professionals and is now used for testing new components, all over the world.
-- RECENT JOB TITLE:
Distinguished Professor, Emeritus
Department of Ceramics Engineering
Rutgers University
Piscataway, NJ, USA
-- EDUCATION:
Attended Yale, Columbia, and Rutgers Universities, obtaining
Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry at Rutgers University in1962.
-- ARMY SERVICE:
U.S. Army, Korean War, 1952 - '54 (at Yekkogai, Korea, 6/53 - 6/54).
-- EMPLOYMENT:
1962 - '67: ITT Laboratories, Nutley, NJ.
1967 - '86: Bell Laboratories "ERC" (Engineering Research Center), Princeton, NJ.
1986 - '01: Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
1976 - '00: During each of those 25 years, taught a week-long "short course" about the chemicals used in manufacturing ceramics, at The Center For Professional Advancement, mainly in USA (but also 15 additional sessions in Europe).
Consulted via yearlong, multi-visit contracts with:
Alcoa, Bellcore, Corning, DuPont, Engelhard, Fuel Cell Energy Inc., HED International, Hoogovens (Netherlands), Huls (Germany), Lubrizol, Philips Electronics (Netherlands), Phillips Petroleum, Plessy (England), Rhone Poulenc (France), Teltech, and W. R. Grace. Also had many single-visit consulting jobs with other organizations.
-- MAIN ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Discovered high solubility of halogen-substituted anions in nonpolar solvents (example: trichloroacetic acid salts are soluble in toluene), now used in lithium batteries, and in reclaiming nuclear reactor materials, etc.. (See D. J. Shanefield, J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem., Vol. 24, 1962, P. 1014. For a nice reference to that article ["Shanefield reported the remarkable solubility of ..."], see K. Starke, J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem., Vol. 26, 1964, p.1125.)
Provided the first definitive evidence for the theory of "growth step bunching" during electroplating. (See D.J. Shanefield, J. Electrochem. Soc., Vol. 110, 1963, p.973. For a nice reference to that article, see H. Fischer's prize lecture on page 1129 of Plating, Nov. 1969, page 1129.)
Co-developed selectively-plated gold contacts, providing AT&T with cost reductions of $11,000,000 per year. (AT&T Outstanding Achievement Award, 1976; advertised by AT&T in New Yorker, May 5, 1979, page 4, and elsewhere.)
Co-invented first commercially manufactured amorphous tellurium phase change memory, used in the first mass produced EEPROM (see D. J. Shanefield, et al., U.S. Patents 3,448,302 and 3,448,425 [1969], illustrated on cover of Electronics magazine, September 28, 1970). [The present CD-RW material is a further development of this alloy.] Further developed by Samsung and Intel to become the new "flash memory" (phase change memory) of computers. See Electronic Engineering Times, March12, 2007, page20.
Co-developed "tape casting" of thin ceramic disks, now licensed and used worldwide. Over 200 million of that particular type of "substrate" were made, and they were installed in almost every telephone line in the USA. Our method proved to be extremely reliable, with practically no defects at all.
-----------------------
NOTE: Tape casting is now used to make more than ONE BILLION (!) ceramic capacitors PER DAY, according to D. W. Richerson on page 141 of "The Magic of Ceramics," published by The American Ceramic Society (year 2000). There are about 100 in a typical cellular telephone, and about a thousand in a car (not including its radio-and-stereo system).
-----------------------
Co-authored first scientific study of tape casting. Also discovered "steric stabilization" effect in non-aqueous ceramics casting. (See D.J. Shanefield and R. E. Mistler, Amer. Ceram.Soc.Bull., Vol. 53, 1974, p.416; illustrated on cover of R&D Magazine, March 1971; advertised by AT&T in Scientific American, July 1973, page 2, and elsewhere.) [Note: tape casting is now used to make "hybrid" integrated circuits, capacitors, sensors, piezo. microphones, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and many other things.]
Co-invented crack resistant tape casting technique for producing ceramics, now used by DuPont in "Green Tape process" (see R.A. Desai and D.J.Shanefield, U.S. Patent 5,002,710).
Co-developed process for sintering silicon carbide at only 1850 deg. C (usually requires 2100 deg. C), now used commercially to mass produce pump seals in U.S. and Sweden (see D. J. Shanefield, et al., Ceramic Transactions, Vol. 7, 1990, p. 618).
Discovered that the effect of carbon vapor (at 1850 deg. C) on silicon carbide sintering is enhancement of bulk diffusion via vacancies (see D. J. Shanefield, et al., J. Amer. Ceram. Soc., Vol. 73, 1990, p. 148).
Co-discovered effect of solid residual carbon on aluminum nitride sintering, via vacancies (see H. Yan, W. R. Cannon, and D. J. Shanefield, J. Amer. Ceram. Soc., Vol.76, 1993, p.166).
Innovated method for achieving 62 volume percent submicron powder in ceramic slips, and 75 volume percent in dry pressed ceramics before firing. Also innovated oleyl alcohol super-dispersant for injection molding. (See D. J. Shanefield, "Advanced Organic Additives for Whitewares," pages 147-156 in Science of Whitewares, edited by V. Henkes, et al., American Ceramic Society, Westerville, OH, 1996). [Note: oleyl alcohol is now used by other people, as in U.S. Patents 5,738,817 (1998) and 5,900,207 (1999).]
-- HONORS:
AT&T Outstanding Achievement Awards (four times: 1975, 1976, 1979,1980).
Fellow of American Institute of Chemists, 1979.
Fellow of American Ceramic Society, 1993.
Best Paper Award, Engineering Division of American Ceramic Society, 1993.
Biography is in Marquis "Who's Who in the World," 1995 - Present.
Man of the Year Award, Ceramic Association of New Jersey, 1996.
Associate Editor, Journal of The American Ceramic Society, 1989-'99.
Life Member, Inst. of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), 2000 - Present.
Chairman, IEEE Committee S-32, "Reliability Tests," 1978-,'88.
-- MAIN PUBLICATIONS:
(For very nice reviews of my books, see http://amazon.com
and write shanefield in the search box,
then click on a blue title, and then click on Customer Review.)
Author of textbook, "Organic Additives and Ceramic Processing," Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston (Second Edition, 1996). This was first report of oleyl alcohol super-dispersant for injection molding, the "tangling" effects of excess dispersant, the "external plasticizer" for dry pressing, and ammonium stearate lubricant for extrusion, etc. [Note external plasticizer is now used for applications such as reported in J. Amer. Ceram. Soc., Vol. 85, page 749, year 2002.]
Author of textbook, "Industrial Electronics for Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians," William Andrew Publishing, Norwich, NY, (2000). [ Book is also available via the web as an e-book in .PDF format, at www.knovel.com if you search for the word shanefield. ]
Author of encyclopedia article on tape casting, pages 4855 - 4858, in "Encyc. of Materials Sci. and Engineering," edited by M. B. Bever (of MIT), Pergamon Press, Oxford and New York (1986).

-- AVOCATIONS:
Created a "meme," in other words, a newly-created idea that continues to spread throughout the world on its own. This meme is the "equalized double-blind" listening comparison of audio components, which is now used worldwide. (See D. J. Shanefield, High Fidelity, March 1980, page 57. Also published in Boston Audio Society Speaker, Nov. 1974 and June 1975. Listed as the earliest double-blind audio articles: see Refs. 27 & 28 in S. Lipshitz et al., J. Audio Engrng. Soc., Vol. 29, July 1981.)
Introduced the graphic equalizer to the general public, with first article on this component in million-reader magazines (see for example cover story by D. J. Shanefield in Stereo Review, May 1976, referred to again in Stereo Review, May 1996, page 112).
Modified '91 Corvette to achieve 0-60 MPH in 4.9 seconds (I reported my modifications in Vette Magazine, February 1993, page 57).
