I Chemistry. He also founded the Jawaharlal B Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific tf Research, Bangalore in 1989. His main research interests are in solid state and materials chemistry. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, London, and is a member of a several other academies. He is an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and is the recipient of the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society. 

The phenomena of ionic migration were first clearly stated and demonstrated experimentally by Wilhelm Hittorf (Bonn 27 March 1824-Munster, 28 November 1914), professor of physics and chemistry in Munster, Westphalia. He was elected an honorary member of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society in 1888, van t Hoff being elected in 1892 and Ostwald in 1894. He did important work on cathode rays (1869) and received the Hughes medal of the Royal Society in 1903, the President (Sir William Huggins) saying that Hittorf s first paper on the migration of the ions marks an epoch in our knowledge of electrolysis . ... 

Royal Society, the author of a well-received text (The Electric Arc), and recipient of the Hughes Medal honoring her research. 

An extensive discussion of the stress relaxation function in vulcanized mbber completes this chapter. The work was performed by another emerging leader in polymer science Arthur V. Tobolsky (1919-1972). He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1944 and worked with Henry Eyring and Hugh S. Taylor. Taylor was proud to present the Bingham Medal of the Society of Rheology to Tobolsky in 1956. Tobolsky also collaborated with Herman Mark on the Second Edition of his monograph [3], published in 1950. He was so successful at Princeton that he was appointed there immediately. He found himself at Brooklyn Poly as Professor of Chemistry in 1950, but returned to Princeton where he spent the rest of his life. One of the first students to graduate under the direction of Arthur Tobolsky was Richard S. Stein (1925-) in 1948.
