1. Alan G. MacDiarmid - Autobiography alan G. macdiarmid – Autobiography. Shortly after learning of my being a recipientof the nobel Prize I was speaking to one of my brothers in New http://www.nobel.se/chemistry/laureates/2000/macdiarmid-autobio.html

I was born a Kiwi (a New Zealander) in Masterton, New Zealand on April 14, 1927, and still am a Kiwi by New Zealand law, although I became a naturalized United States citizen many years ago in order to have the right to vote in US elections and, hence, voice my political opinions in a meaningful way. My father, an engineer, was unemployed for four years during the Great Depression which hit New Zealand rather severely in the early 1930s. Since jobs were believed to be more plentiful in the vicinity of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand, located at the bottom of the North Island, we moved to Lower Hutt a few miles from Wellington. There my two older brothers and my elder sister were able to find jobs while I and my younger sister were still at primary school. It is my home life while growing up through high school, which I consider to have been the single most important factor in any success which I may have had in life. As my parents always said, "...an 'A's grade in a class is not a sign of success." Success is knowing that you have done your best and have exploited your God-given or gene-given abilities to the next maximum extent. More than this, no one can do. For a period in grade school, I attended a two-room school in Keri Keri (town population, 600) where most of my school chums were Maori boys and girls from whom I learned so much. During much of my time at grade school I had an early morning, pre-school job delivering milk on my bicycle for Mr. Bradley, who had a few cows in a nearby paddock. My mother was superb - she would get up with me while it was still dark to make me hot tea to send me on my way. When I started high school it was necessary to give up my Milk route. Instead, I delivered the "Evening Post" newspaper on my bicycle after school.

CONTACT: Steve Bradt at 215-573-6604 (print) Jeanne Leong at 215-573-8151 (broadcast) ALAN G. MAC DIARMID AND FORMER PENN PHYSICIST ALAN J. HEEGER ARE AMONG THREE WINNERS OF THE 2000 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY "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." Polymers are molecular chains with a regularly repeating structure. For a polymer to conduct electric current, it must consist alternately of single and double bonds between the carbon atoms. It must also be "doped," which means that electrons are removed (through oxidation) or introduced (through reduction). These "holes," or extra electrons, can move along the molecule, making it electrically conductive. Drs. MacDiarmid, Heeger, and Shirakawa were responsible for the 1977 synthesis and the electrical and chemical doping of polyacetylene, the prototypical conducting polymer, and the rediscovery of polyaniline, now the foremost industrial conducting polymer.

Alan MacDiarmid Family Catalyst Boy Chemist Science and Serendipity Research, Dedication, Application ... Nancy Wake Alan MacDiarmid PLASTIC FANTASTIC For a hundred years young graduates have been told that “there's a great future in plastics.” That exhortation continues to have currency today, thanks to the work of New Zealand born and educated scientist Alan MacDiarmid who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2001 for his and his colleagues' "discovery and development of electronically conductive polymers." The Nobel Prize recognized advances that are seen to be the future of the technology that fuels the progress of the age of information. Alan, the model of a scientist, lives by the sign in his study: “I am a very lucky person and the harder I work the luckier I seem to be.” In January of 1892 young Archie MacDiarmid had a country holiday at the farm of friends, the Rutherfords at Pungarehu on the Taranaki coast near Cape Egmont. In a letter home Archie mentioned that one of the Rutherford boys, "Earnest" had made 28 gallons of wine. Ernest Rutherford's nomination for the 1907 Nobel Prize in Chemistry failed. Instead it was awarded to Edward Buchner of the University of Berlin for his studies of the fermentation process. But Rutherford received the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, for his fundamental discovery that the natural transmutation of heavy atoms was the explanation of radioactivity.

August 20, 1936, Tokyo, Japan Hideki Shirakawa, 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, (CH) x , the "prototype" conducting polymer. Hideki Shirakawa shared a Nobel Prize 2000 in Chemistry with Alan J. Heeger and Alan G. MacDiarmid. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the prize to the three for the discovery and development of conductive polymers. Hideki Shirakawa was born in Tokyo on August 20, 1936. After graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology with a degree in chemical engineering in 1961, he enrolled in the graduate program there and received his doctorate in engineering in 1966. He subsequently worked as an assistant at the Chemical Resources Laboratory at his alma mater until 1976, when he went to the University of Pennsylvania in the United States as a researcher. Three years later he returned to Japan, joining the faculty of the University of Tsukuba as an associate professor. In 1982 he became a professor, and in April 2000 he was appointed professor emeritus. In 1983 he received the Award of the Society of Polymer Science, Japan, for his research into polyacetylene. Hideki Shirakawa, a 64-year-old professor emeritus at the University of Tsukuba, has been named the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2000. The prize was presented jointly to Shirakawa and two U.S. scientists - Alan Heeger, 64, of the University of California at Santa Barbara and Alan MacDiarmid, 73, of the University of Pennsylvania - for their discovery and development of conductive polymers, or plastics that can transmit electric current. Shirakawa is the ninth Japanese to become a Nobel laureate and the first since Kenzaburo Oe, who won the prize for literature in 1994. He is the second Japanese to receive the chemistry award. The first was the late Ken'ichi Fukui, who won it in 1981.

CHEMISTRY NOBEL AGAIN For the second year in a row a scientist associated with the School of Arts and Sciences was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry. Alan G. MacDiarmid, the Blanchard Professor of Chemistry, was recognized by the Royal Swedish Academy, along with two other scientists, for the discovery and subsequent study of "synthetic metals"plastics that conduct electricity. "We are deeply honored that Alan's outstanding scientific achievements have received such prestigious recognition," declared Dean Sam Preston. "This is a great moment not only for him but for the entire School and University." Last year SAS alumnus Ahmed Zewail, G'74, Hon'97, of Caltech received the Nobel in chemistry for his pioneering work in femtochemistry, the study of chemical reactions that take place in an instant. Stanley Prusiner, C'64, M'68, another chemistry department graduate, received the 1997 prize for his discovery of the prion. The ground-breaking research of MacDiarmid and his colleagues opened up the new field of carbon-based electronics. The Nobel committee stated that "[t]he choice is motivated by the important scientific position that the field has achieved and the consequences in terms of practical applications and of interdisciplinary development between chemistry and physics." Alan Heeger, a co-recipient of the prize now at UC Santa Barbara, was a physics professor in SAS for 23 years. The revolutionary plastics fabricated by these distinguished chemists and physicists have laid the foundation for 21st century technologies. "For many years I used to say that these materials were answers waiting for the questions to be asked," MacDiarmid commented. The questions are now coming fast. Scientists expect conducting polymers to find applications in lightweight and flexible computer screens, solar panels, cellular phone displays, plastic batteries, inexpensive electronic chips, and more. Medical researchers have reported encouraging success mending severed nerves with a conductive plastic sleeve.
