& an authority on polymer chemistry.
Flory was an active educator of polymer chemistry.
A pioneer in polymer chemistry, worked closely with friend and colleague, Nobel nominee, Dr. Herman Mark.
Started own firm, PolymErik, Inc., consulting in polymer chemistry until 2006.
Classroom work, which took place at Harrison High School and Pace University in Pleasantville (where students were housed), focused on introductory organic chemistry and polymer chemistry.
Dr. Luttinger spent much of his professional career working in the industrial sector, specializing in polymer chemistry, reverse osmosis, and environmental chemistry.
By doing some clever polymer chemistry, they were able to make solid perovskite solar cells, and then, in only 18 months, engineered these up to efficiencies of 16%.
He graduated from City College of New York and went on to earn a doctorate in polymer chemistry from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1950.
Staudinger's pioneering work provided the theoretical basis for polymer chemistry and greatly contributed to the development of modern plastics.
HENRY K. HALL Jr. Tucson, Dec. 27, 2012 The writer is emeritus professor of polymer chemistry at the University of Arizona.
His lectures at Cornell laid the basis for Principles of Polymer Chemistry (1953), an introductory textbook that was the standard in the field for several decades.
