Many congratulations to Professor Bert Meijer, from Eindhoven University of Technology, who has been chosen as the winner of the AkzoNobel Science Award for 2010, for his outstanding contributions to advancing polymer and organic chemistry.An independent panel of judges bestowed Meijer with this honour for his numerous achievements, including patented technology that led to the development of the first nano- container (also known as the dendritic box), and the synthesis and development of supramolecular polymers. Meijer was the first scientist to translate the idea of a supramolecular polymer into a viable product with polymer-like properties and resulted in a worldwide revolution in this branch of chemistry.
Meijer is also a valued member of the ChemComm Editorial Advisory Board, and more recently he has been appointed to the Chemical Science International Editorial Advisory Board.
The ChemComm and Chemical Science team would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Bert on this fantastic achievement.
