Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, has announced that two researchers have been selected as the recipients of the seventh annual ‘SPSJ Wiley Award’. The award is sponsored by Wiley in conjunction with the Society of Polymer Science Japan (SPSJ).
Masami Kamigaito from Nagoya University won the prize based on her paper, ‘Discovery and Development of Transition Metal-Catalyzed Living Radical Polymerization’. Ryo Yoshida from Tokyo University was the other award winner, for his work in the paper, ‘Development of Polymer Gels with Autonomous Responding Function’. The winners each received a cash prize and gave a lecture at the SPSJ Macromolecular Symposium.
Now in its seventh year, the SPSJ-Wiley Award seeks to recognise and promote the development of creative and outstanding research in the field of polymer chemistry or physics. Aimed at chemists aged 45 years or younger, the award is given to two researchers each year, one each from the Chemistry and Physics areas of polymer science.
The award winners were nominated by the SPSJ Polymer Science Award Committee in June this year.
