Professor HIDEKI SHIRAKAWA is awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry, 2000. Prof. Shirakawa, at the Press Conference at the University Hall(Oct. 13, 2000) The Royal Swedish Academy of Science has announced that the Nobel Prize in chemistry, 2000, was awarded to Professor (Emeritus) Hideki Shirakawa (Institute of Materials Science, University of Tsukuba, Japan), who jointly shared with Professor Alan J. Heeger (University of California at Santa Barbara, USA) and Professor Alan G. MacDiarmid (University of Pennsylvania, USA) for the discovery and development of conductive polymers on Oct.10, 2000. Professor Shirakawa has been a faculty member of Institute of Materials Science, University of Tsukuba for more than 20 years and has dedicated his life to both his research and education. He explored a unprecedented new area of polymer science by leading insulating polyacetylene to electrically conducting one. This achievement was often said to be triggered by an accidental mistake a thousand fold too much catalyst was added during synthesis of polymer resulting in a beautiful silvery film which possess many superior properties to metals when he was a research associate of Chemical Resources Laboratory at Tokyo Institute of Technology. When Professor Alan MacDiarmid heard about the film synthesized by Dr. Shirakawa, he invited him to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia as a post-doctral fellow. They worked together with Dr. Alan Heeger in order to understand the mechanisms of the appearance of conductivity in insulating polymers and finally came to a conclusion that it is possible to introduce carriers in polymers by doping: modifying polyacetylene by oxidation with halogen vapor.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA'S ALAN G. MAC DIARMID AND FORMER PENN PHYSICIST ALAN J. HEEGER ARE AMONG THREE WINNERS OF THE 2000 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY PHILADELPHIA - Alan G. MacDiarmid, Ph.D., Blanchard Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, is one of three recipients of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Sharing the honor are former Penn faculty member Alan J. Heeger, Ph.D., now at the University of California at Santa Barbara, and Hideki Shirakawa, Ph.D., of the University of Tsukuba in Japan. The work underlying the award - which showed that plastics can be made to conduct electricity - was carried out at Penn in the late 1970s, when Drs. MacDiarmid and Heeger were both on the Penn faculty. The holder of some 30 U.S. patents, Dr. MacDiarmid, 73, has been at Penn since 1955. Dr. Heeger, 64, was a physicist on the Penn faculty from 1962 to 1983 and directed the University's Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter from 1974 to 1981. "This is indeed a moment for great joy and celebration, as we join the Nobel committee in acknowledging the achievements of an outstanding researcher and faculty member," said Penn President Judith Rodin. "This pathbreaking research into 'conducting polymers,' that is, plastics that can conduct electricity, introduced a new and completely unexpected phenomenon to the fields of chemistry and physics and has unleashed a flood of interdisciplinary studies which have continued unabated to this day. "Alan MacDiarmid is a truly extraordinary scientist and we offer him and his colleagues our deepest and most heartfelt congratulations."

[Print Friendly Version] Media Note Office of the Spokesman Washington, DC November 30, 2001 Fulbright Program Alumni Win Nobel Prize Two U.S. alumni of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ Fulbright Program, Joseph E. Stiglitz of Columbia University and George A. Akerlof of the University of California at Berkeley, were honored at a White House reception on Tuesday celebrating their 2001 Nobel Prize in economics. President Bush recognized the Nobel laureates for using their "great gifts" to the fullest in their contributions to society. Stiglitz and Akerlof’s contributions form the core of modern information economics. Stiglitz, who was Chief Economist and Senior Vice President for the World Bank (1997-99) and Chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisors (1995-97), and Akerlof, since 1994 senior non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution, both earned doctorates in economics from MIT in 1966 and were awarded Fulbright fellowships at the beginning of their careers. Stiglitz was a Fulbright Fellow in economics at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom (1969-70). Akerlof was a Fulbright Scholar at the Indian Statistical Institute in New Delhi (1967-68). Stiglitz and Akerlof, who share this year's Nobel Prize in economics with A. Michael Spence of Stanford University, "laid the foundation for a general theory of markets with asymmetric information" during the 1970s. "The Fulbright Program played a pivotal role in my professional development, both by providing me with an opportunity to broaden my intellectual horizons, studying with some of the world’s leading economists at Cambridge University, and enabling me to see the world through quite different perspectives," said Joseph Stiglitz. "Some of the research collaborations I began during that year have lasted over the following three decades. The international perspectives served me well, especially when I became Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank."

(print issue of 24 October ) 24 October 2000 Title and Authors Nobel Focus: Electricity through Plastic Philips Research Bending the rules. This flexible electronic circuit works even when bent. The 2000 chemistry Nobel Prize recognized the discovery of conducting polymers, which made plastic electronics possible. The chemistry Nobel Prize this year went to Alan Heeger, Alan MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa "for the discovery and development of electrically conductive polymers." The laureates first described the details of their discovery in PRL in 1977, 23 year ago today. At the time, plastics were considered nonconductors, but the team showed that adding some impurities to a polymer material could increase its conductivity by more than a billion times. Their work led to the field of plastic electronics, which has resulted in several commercial applications. But they also helped to spur new areas of fundamental research in condensed matter physics by demonstrating some exotic polymer properties, such as charge carriers that, unlike electrons, have zero spin. Plastics are so dependable as insulators (materials that don't conduct electricity) that they are often used for the protective coatings around wires. By the 1970s chemists had worked with some small organic molecules that could conduct, but a conducting, carbon-based, long-chain molecule was something "no one had really contemplated," recalls Richard Friend of the University of Cambridge in the UK. Polymers were known to be far cheaper to process than conventional electronics materials, which is one reason the results had "a huge impact," says Friend.

Nobel Prize Winners' Paper Alan J. Heeger (University of California at Santa Barbara, USA), Alan G. MacDiarmid (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA) and Hideki Shirakawa (University of Tsukuba, Japan) have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2000 for their discovery and subsequent development of conductive polymers. It is often taught that plastics, unlike metals, do not conduct electricity, yet this year's Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have been recognised for their revolutionary discovery that plastic, following some modification, can in fact conduct electricity. The group made their discovery in the late 1970s and have subsequently developed conductive polymers into an important area of research for chemists and physicists, with many practical applications in modern life. Heeger, MacDiarmid, Shirakawa et al. published their findings in the Society's journal Chemical Communications and you can now read their seminal article online for the first time: Synthesis of Electrically conducting Organic Polymers: Halogen Derivatives of Polyacetylene (CH) x , Hideki Shirakawa, Edwin J.

Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Alan G. MacDiarmid The Nobel Prize In Chemistry 2000 Alan McDiarmid, co-discoverer of the field of conducting polymers, more commonly known as "synthetic metals", was the chemist responsible in 1977 for the chemical and electrochemical doping of polyacetylene, the "prototype" conducing polymer, and the "rediscovery" of polyaniline, now the foremost industrial conducting polymer. In 1973, he began research on (SN) x , an unusual polymeric material with metallic conductivity. His interest in organic conducting polymers began in 195 when he was introduced to a new form of polyacetylene by Dr. Hidelki Shirakawa at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. The ensuing collaboration between MacDiarmid, Shirakawa and Alan Heeger led to the historic discovery of metallic conductivity in an organic polymer. This initial discovery and ensuing studies, in collaboration with Shirakawa, resulted in the first chemical doping of (CH) x and detailed physics studies with Heeger. MacDiarmid was born in New Zealand 71 years ago and after obtaining his higher education at the University of New Zealand, University of Wisconsin and Cambridge University he joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania in 1955, where he is currently Blanchard Professor of Chemistry.
