Melvin Mooney (1893–1968) was an American physicist and rheologist.

Life

Mooney was born in Kansas City, Missouri.[1] He achieved an A.B. degree from the University of Missouri in 1917 and a PhD in physics from the University of Chicago in 1923.[1] He worked for the United States Rubber Company.[1]

He developed the Mooney viscometer[2] (used to measure viscosity of rubber compounds during curing) and other testing equipment used in the rubber industry. He also proposed the Mooney-Rivlin solid constitutive law describing the hyperelastic stress–strain behavior of rubber.[3] He was the first recipient of the Bingham Medal from the Society of Rheology in 1948.[1] He received the Charles Goodyear Medal in 1962.[4] He is the namesake of the Melvin Mooney Distinguished Technology Award of the American Chemical Society Rubber Division.[5]
