THIS MONTH IN CHEMICAL HISTORYHarold Goldwhite, California State University, Los Angeles • [email protected] cannot resist the urge to purchase mid-19th. Century chemistry textbooks for a lower pricethan I would have to pay for a quality paperback. The reason is not hard to discern. It wasstated clearly by Thomas Kuhn in his “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions”, an influentialbook on the history of science published in the middle of the twentieth century. Kuhn’s thesisis that most scientists engage in what he called “normal science” based on the acceptedviews, the paradigms, of their times. And paradigms are firmly ensconced in textbooks whichare therefore a reliable guide to mainstream scientific thinking of the period in which they arepublished.All this is prelude to the subject of this month’s column, “Kane’s Chemistry edited by Draper”published in 1845. Kane and Draper are so significant in the history of chemistry that muchof this column will be about these two scientists, leaving the examination of their textbook toa subsequent essay. Robert John Kane was born in Dublin in 1809. His father had partici-pated in the Irish rebellion of 1798 and had left for France where he began the study ofchemistry. Returning to Ireland he established a factory making sulfuric acid. Like father, likeson. Robert Kane learned his early chemistry at his father’s factory and attended lectures atthe Royal Dublin Society, publishing his first paper at the age of 19. Entering Trinity College,Dublin to study medicine he graduated with an M.D. in 1834, meanwhile working at a localhospital. He was appointed Professor (“The Boy Professor”) at Apothecaries Hall in Dublinin 1831, at age 22!Kane’s first book, “Elements of Practical Pharmacy” was published at this time and earnedhim election to the Royal Irish Academy. His research at this time, in the mainstream of cur-rent chemistry, involved radical theory in organic chemistry, and he proposed the novel ethylradical. He moved to Giessen in Germany to work with Liebig, the originator with Woehler ofradical theory. In 1841 – 1843 the three volumes of his “Elements of Chemistry”, the basisof the book I purchased, were published. He also wrote a comprehensive report on theindustrial resources of Ireland. His prestige by now was such that he was appointed one ofthe Commissioners who studied and reported on the Great Irish Famine. He became directorof the Museum of Irish Industry in Dublin, and was appointed as the first President ofQueen’s College, Cork. He was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1846. His further honorsincluded National Commissioner for education; President of the Royal Irish Academy; andfirst Chancellor of the new Royal University of Ireland. He died in 1890.And what about John William Draper, Kane’s American editor. He is among the most distin-guished American scientists of the 19th. Century. He was born in Lancashire, England in1811 and his father was a Wesleyan Methodist clergyman. Draper studied chemistry atUniversity College, London with Edward Turner. When his father died in 1831 Draper’s familyall moved to Virginia where he hoped to get a teaching position. Although that did not happenDraper still set up a research laboratory and published 8 papers before entering medicalschool. He graduated from the School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania andthen began teaching at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. He was a founder of theMedical School of New York University and was both Professor and President of that school.He was Professor of chemistry there from 1840 to 1881. In 1876 to 1877 Draper was the firstPresident of the ACS.Draper was an early pioneer in the chemistry of photography and made some of the earliestportrait photographs. His photograph of the moon, the second one made, was a sensationat the time. His writings were especially influential. In addition to the edited textbook men-tioned above he wrote “The Intellectual Development of Europe” published in 1862; a 3 vol-ume “History of the American Civil War’ published from 1867 – 1870; and his most famousand controversial book: “A History of the Conflict between Religion and Science” publishedin 1874. This book was translated into ten languages and was reprinted 50 times in itsAmerican edition. Draper was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1877. He diedin 1882.As I forecast above, the accomplishments of the two authors have filled this column. Theexamination of the textbook must wait to a subsequent column.

Abstract: Poly -mers are the sin-gle most impor-tant material cur-rently used byhumanity. Theycomprise every-thing from con-struction materi-als to cosmeticsand can be found

in nearly every aspect of daily life. This talkwill offer a brief introduction into what poly-mers are and how they are made, both syn-thetically and industrially. Applications ofthese polymers and their unique propertiesare also discussed. Furthermore, a historicaloverview on the increasing importance ofpolymers to human development is present-ed. Finally, the effect of the environmentalimpact of polymers, both positive and nega-tive, along with recent advances in mediat-ing polymer waste problems and renewableenergy devices, gives a brief outlook intohow these materials can solve many of themost pressing problems facing our society.Biography: Dr. Joseph W. Krumpferreceived his B.S. in Chemistry at Seton HallUniversity in South Orange, NJ and his M.S.and Ph.D. in Polymer Science andEngineering at the University ofMassachusetts - Amherst. His post-doctoralresearch in the field of carbon fiber precur-sor polymers was performed at the MaxPlanck Institute for Polymer Research inMainz, Germany where he was awarded anAlexander von Humboldt Post-DoctoralResearcher Fellowship. Currently, he is anassistant professor of Inorganic andPolymer Chemistry at Pace University inPleasantville, NY. His current research inter-ests include conductive and light-emittingpolyquinolines, silicone-inorganic oxideequilibration reactions, and pre-ceramicpolymers and materials for high temperatureapplications.Date: Tuesday, October 2, 2018Times: Refreshments - 5:30 PM Lecture - 6:00 PMPlace: Westchester Community College Gateway Building Room 110 75 Grasslands Road Valhalla, NY 10595

WILLIAM H. NICHOLS MEDAL AWARD FOR 2018 AND SYMPOSIUMThe William H. Nichols Medal Award for 2018 was presented to Dr. Debra R. Rolison of U.S.Naval Research Laboratory on April 13th, at an award dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel,White Plains, NY. Dr. Rolison received the Nichols gold Medal “For Pioneering EnergyRelevant 3D Nanoarchitectures.” Over two hundred industrial chemists, students and facultyfrom New York Local Section colleges and universities were in attendance at the gala event. The William H. Nichols Distinguished Symposium, that preceded the award dinner, was titled“The Future of Energy Science … Without Chemists? Unachievable.” The 208 attendeesenjoyed research talks by these internationally known speakers: Dr. Stephanie L. Brock(Wayne State University); Dr. Jillian L. Dempsey (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill),Dr. Héctor Abruña (Cornell University), and Dr. Rolison who gave the Award Lecture titled“Architectural Design, 1D Walls, 3D Plumbing, and Painting Blind en Route to MultifunctionalNanoarchitectures for Energy Storage.” Dr. Justyna Widera-Kalinowska, Chair-elect of theNew York Section, expertly emceed the symposium, introducing each speaker. The NicholsDistinguished Symposium and the following social hour were enjoyed by all. Dr. Joseph M. Serafin, 2018 Chair of the ACS New York Section, welcomed the award dinnerguests and recounted the story of William H. Nichols and the history of the Nichols Medal.American Chemical Society President Dr. Peter K. Dorhout and Dr. Laura Pence (District IDirector of ACS) brought greetings and congratulations from the 153,000 members of theACS. Dr. Henry S. White delighted the room with a touching and spirited introduction of Dr.Debra R. Rolison. It is worth to notice that Dr. Rolison is a third woman that received theNichols medal in the Nichols Award history. Chair Serafin then awarded the gold medal,identical bronze medal and an honorarium to Dr. Rolison. The Medalist and speakers thenhappily met with students and posed for photos with them. Members of the Nichols family also enjoyed this special event. The New York Section washonored to have as guests: Mr. C. Walter Nichols III (great grandson of William H. Nichols),his wife Helga Nichols, and Mrs. Sandra Nash (great, great granddaughter). It is exciting andtruly a great pleasure to have the Nichols family members present at the presentation of theNichols Medal as continuation of the Dr. William H. Nichols legacy. The Nichols Medal Award was established in 1902 by Dr. William H. Nichols to honor achemical scientist for outstanding original research and was first awarded in 1903. Dr.Nichols, a charter member of the American Chemical Society and its president in 1918 and1919, maintained a deep commitment to research and development and to the importanceof supporting science education and students of chemistry. Since its inception, through anendowment fund, the New York Section administers the award. It has been perpetuated bythe generosity of Dr. Nichols, his family and the Nichols Foundation, Inc. The William H.Nichols Medal is the first award in chemistry of the American Chemical Society.

It hascaused more deaths annually thanHIV/AIDS and malaria combined. Citizensare increasingly aware of this problem andare seeking low cost and user-friendly solu-tion to monitor the air condition. This risingneed will lead to a market of more than $3billion by 2028, which is analysed and fore-casted by the recently updated IDTechExResearch report Environmental GasSensors 2018-2028.In the Environmental Gas Sensors 2018-2028 report, we have focused on six majoremerging market segments:• Automotive• Smart devices• Wearable devicesThe automotive industry currently domi-nates the gas sensor market with the goal ofautomating air flow into the drivers’ compart-ment. Automotive industry will remain anessential segment for the gas sensor in thecoming years. However, IDTechEx expectsto see a large rise in sales towards the inte-gration of gas sensors with mobile andwearable devices. These devices will allowconsumers to monitor the air conditionsdynamically and then encourage them totake appropriate action Instantaneously. Gas sensors will also play a key role inInternet of Things (IoT) development andwill be used extensively in households andcities connected with digital technologies.Heating, ventilation and air conditioning(HVAC) systems, air purifiers, smart win-dows and other applications will employsensors to improve These new markets have emerged becausenew manufacturing methods are enablingthe fabrication of smaller, lower power andmore selective sensors.Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)and screen printing techniques facilitate theminiaturisation of gas sensors, which is thekey to integrate gas sensors into consumerelectronics, such as mobile phones andwearable devices.
