This might be an out-of-the-box answer, and I don’t know if this will work in fields outside of ours, but I was thinking about what I would do… I’d quit
looking for the (maybe not even published) publication, and start looking for William M. Davis!
If I was looking for something presented at a library conference and couldn’t find it, I’d e-mail the presenter.
Or maybe e-mail ACS to see if this is even published and/or available for purchase?

Subject: [SERIALST] Ref? Access to ACS Conference Proceedings
Hello, everyone. I suppose this is not really a "serials" question, but here goes. A faculty member here wants to access the text of several documents
from an American Chemical Society conference proceedings. We found a citation for one of them in Scifinder (see below). He tried to request it on ILL, but our ILL department says no one has it available. Is it possible that the only thing available is the
abstract that is available in Scifinder? We welcome ideas on how to obtain access to the text in print or electronic format.
Davis, William M. "Computational Approaches towards the Predication of the Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Polymer."
>From Abstracts, 60th Southwest Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Fort Worth, TX, United States, September 29-October 4, 2004, SEPT04-248.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
