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: For the ten years from the third grade of elementary school to the end of high school, I lived in the small city of Takayama, a town of less than sixty thousand, located in the middle of Honshu, Japan. Even though it was far away from Japan's principal cities, Takayama has been called a "little Kyoto" because of the similarity of its landform to Kyoto, the city sits in a basin surrounded by mountains with a river flowing through it, and because of its long-established cultural heritage and tradition. In this small town, rich in natural beauty, I spent my days enthusiastically collecting insects and plants, and making radios. My affinity for science was awakened and grew during in these ten years. Long after I became a polymer scientist, I occasionally remembered a short composition I had written during my last year in junior high school. At that time students compiled a commemorative collection of compositions describing our future dreams. As I recalled, I wrote something about my wish to be a scientist in the future and to conduct research on plastics useful for ordinary people. I cannot be sure what I wrote exactly because I lost the book of essays during repeated moves afterwards. I had long regretted this loss because I wanted to know more about why and how a junior high school boy decided on a future research career in plastics.

Extractions: 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. scientistsAlan Heeger, 64, of the University of California at Santa Barbara and Alan MacDiarmid, 73, of the University of Pennsylvaniafor their discovery and development of conductive polymers, or plastics that can transmit electric current. The three plan to split the award money totaling 9.0 million Swedish kronor (957,447 U.S. dollars at 9.4 krona to the dollar) among them equally. 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. A Groundbreaking Discovery Most plastics are polymers, substances whose molecules repeat their structure regularly. They were once believed to be high-quality insulators that, unlike metals, do not conduct electricity. Shirakawa and his colleagues discovered, however, that by changing their molecular structure plastics could be made electrically conductive. At the end of the 1970s, they succeeded in chemically treating a plastic film called polyacetylene and making it conductive. Following this, the field of conductive plastics evolved into an important research field among physicists as well as chemists.

Extractions: 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.

Shimadzu Corporation is known among university students for its liberal research and corporate culture. It is therefore very popular among students seeking positions as researchers and engineers. The city of Hamamatsu is located between Tokyo and Kyoto in Shizuoka-ken. It was the home of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who established the Edo Shogunate 400 years ago. The city is the birthplace of such well-known manufacturers as Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki. It is also home to Hamamatsu Photonics, with 2,100 employees the pioneer of a unique technology called the photomultiplier. The company was founded in 1953 by Hiruma Teruo, who remains president today. Hamamatsu Photonics is the manufacturer of the 1,100 photomultipliers attached to the gigantic observation equipment Kamiokande (Kamioka Nucleon Decay Experiment) of Professor Koshiba Masatoshi, who won the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics.

University of Tsukuba Americans Alan Heeger and Alan MacDiarmid and Japan's Hideki Shirakawa won the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering that plastic can be made to conduct electricity. Plastics, generally thought to be incapable of conducting electricity, are polymers, molecules whose structure is repeated in long chains. Heeger, MacDiarmid and Shirakawa showed that polymers can conduct electricity if they are "doped" by removing or introducing electrons and if they consist alternately of single and double bonds between carbon atoms.
