ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry to T. Aida

摘要

Takuzo Aida (University of Tokyo) is this year's recipient of the ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry. The society thus recognizes him for his work in supramolecular chemistry and materials science. He recently reported in Chemistry-An Asian Journal on the unusual effect of side chains on the lifetimes of charge carriers in discotic liquid crystals, and his contribution on an organic-inorganic polypseudorotoxane featured on the cover of Angewandte Chemie.
