Aubert Y. Coran (1932–2020) was an American scientist noted for his contributions to thermoplastic elastomers and vulcanization chemistry of rubber.
[1] In 1995, the rubber division of the American Chemical Society bestowed on Coran the Charles Goodyear Medal in honor of his international contributions to polymer science and development.
In the years 1978–1983, Coran served as the 6th editor of the scientific journal Rubber Chemistry and Technology.
In the mid-1990s, A. N. Gent wrote that Coran had "played the leading role in the remarkable progress made in rubber vulcanization since about 1960.
"[2] After departing the University of Akron in September 1991, Coran established a consultancy headquartered in Longboat, Florida.
