OccupationMaterials engineer

Elise McAbee Saunders (July 28, 1920 – May 9, 1991) was an American materials engineer with the United States Army.

Early life and education

McAbee was from Orange County, New York, the daughter of Daniel Hayes McAbee and Ruth E. Edgecomb McAbee. She earned a degree in chemical engineering at West Virginia University in 1942.[1]

Career

McAbee worked in the Army's Plastics and Packaging Laboratory at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey. She and her colleagues won the Army Research & Development Achievement Award in 1965.[2][3] Her research on plastics, polymers, and adhesives was published in academic journals including The Journal of Adhesion[4] and The Journal of Applied Polymer Science.[5]
