Bio
In 1984, Hiltner was one of the authors of a proposal by the University of Akron and Case Western Reserve University to create an Advanced Technology Application Center in Polymers. This proposal was accepted and the Ohio Controlling Board approved a $4.1 million grant for the two universities. The universities decided to name their program the Edison Polymer Innovation Corporation (EPIC) after Hiltner suggested including the word "innovation," eventually leading to the acronym EPIC. The universities stated that the primary goal of EPIC was to "develop new materials and research technology that shows promise in rejuvenating the state's economy." Case Western Reserve coordinated its share of the work through CAPRI (which Hiltner was director of at the time) and researched polymer blends, polymer alloys, membranes, coatings, and lightweight composites. In its first few years, EPIC worked with corporations such as B.F. Goodrich, Firestone, and Goodyear. EPIC also patented a bandage to promote faster healing and helped form the Polymer Container Corporation in Akron, Ohio and NanoFilm in Valley View, Ohio.
