Drew, Thomas

This is the Silver Anniversary for Advances in Chemical Engineering, founded by Thomas Drew and John Hoopes in 1956. The first volume contained review papers by legendary luminaries such as Westwater, Met-zner, Bird, Sage, Treybal, Schrage, and Henley. Let me quote from the first preface ...

Dr. Thomas drew our attention to the fact that, although biological membranes are thin in comparison to his preparations, their diffusion constants may be long. I have measured permeability coefficients (transmembrane "diffusion ) for a number of solutes for artificial phospholipid bilayers (liposomes). The values follow and are to be compared for calculated permeabilities for a solute diffusion across a comparable thickness of water.
