A 'GIANT' in the world of polymer and adhesion science is remembered

摘要

The worlds of adhesion and adhesives and of polymer science were deeply saddened by the news that Dr Alan Gent had died on September 20 at his home in Ravenna with his wife, Ginger, at his side; he was 84. The Adhesion Society in the United States of America writes: 'We are greatly saddened to mark the passing of Dr Alan Gent, who many of us view as the singularly most influential scientist to have worked in the field of adhesion. While his legacy to the Society will certainly continue, his presence in our midst will be greatly missed.'
