The work by winners Alan J. Heeger , Alan G. MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa has spurred improvements in film, TV screens and windows and could eventually lead to a host of new technologies, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. ``The physics prizes are about the electronics of today and the chemistry prizes are about the electronics of the future,'' academy member Per Ahlberg said. In physics, Zhores I. Alferov of the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Herbert Kroemer , a German-born researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara , will share half the prize for work in developing technology used in satellite communications and cellular phones.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: We have been taught that plastics, unlike metals, do not conduct electricity. In fact plastic is used as insulation round the copper wires in ordinary electric cables.Yet this year's Nobel Laureates in Chemistry are being rewarded for their revolutionary discovery that plastic can , after certain modifications, be made electrically conductive. Plastics are polymers, molecules that repeat their structure regularly in long chains. For a polymer to be able 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 - it becomes electrically conductive. Heeger, MacDiarmid and Shirakawa made their seminal findings at the end of the 1970s and have subsequently developed conductive polymers into a research field of great importance for chemists as well as physicists. The area has also yielded important practical applications. Conductive plastics are used in, or being developed industrially for, e.g. anti-static substances for photographic film, shields for computer screen against electromagnetic radiation and for "smart" windows (that can exclude sunlight). In addition, semi-conductive polymers have recently been developed in light-emitting diodes, solar cells and as displays in mobile telephones and mini-format television screens.

Extractions: 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."
