Therald became an internationally recognized authority on the chemistry of the rare earth elements (lanthanides) and published 94 research papers and books in this area alone. During his 45 years of teaching and research, he guided the laboratory research of 43 Ph.D. students, 20 postdoctoral fellows, and 11 M.S. and 25 B.S. students for a total of 99 research students in inorganic chemistry. Of these, at least 39 became professors themselves at universities in the United States, Taiwan, Spain, India, Japan, Brazil, England, and Finland. Several became Department Chairs and one a College President.

The healthy development of the agri- and bio-technical sectors had its roots in the last three decades of the 19th century when chemists, pharmacists and bacteriologists assisted the new dairy cooperatives in order to turn the dairies into small chemical industries. One of the most successful of the new generation of applied scientists was Sigurd Orla-Jensen, a specialist in the chemistry and bacteriology of cheeses and the country s (and indeed the world s) first professor of biotechnical chemistry. There is a nice parallel between the development in production of dairy products in Denmark and Finland, where Virtanen played a role not unlike that of Orla-Jensen in Denmark. However, whereas the Finnish cooperatives established their own research laboratory. 

In the early 20th century, Finland had some potential to develop a thriving chemical industry. However, various other industries competed for the same resources, such as waterpower, funding, and qualified experts and managers. The lack of higher education and relevant research facilities were weaknesses in the Finnish chemical industry. Theoretical education was not supported by experimental work in well-equipped laboratories, and, with the exception of two institutes directed by A. I. Virtanen, there were very few research facilities. In the interwar period, industrial companies seldom had their own research staff and laboratories, and R D was, consequently, neglected and the number of professional chemists remained small. Intellectual resources were, therefore, insufficient for basic research and innovative development. 

This method of drying was recently studied at the Forest Products Laboratory of the Technical Research Center of Finland (Pajunen et al., 1988 Salin, 1991). The small-scale laboratory tests were carried out with pine sapwood and heartwood Pirns silvestris) as well as with birch Betula verrucosa) and spruce (Picea abies) veneer. The wood samples were 25 x 25 x 80 mm, and the veneer samples were 1.5 X 90 X 95 mm. The solvents used were methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol at their boiling points. The tests were performed with green wood using various combinations of treatment time from 0.5 to 12 hours and solvent-to-wood mass ratios ranging from 4 to 12. 

Much of the research work in Europe on strictly anaerobic beer-spoilage bacteria has been carried out at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in collaboration with PEL Brewing Laboratory. VTT provides expertise, state-of-the-art methodologies and anaerobic work facilities to isolate, characterize and identify the strictly anaerobic bacteria.

Thirty years ago, when 1 had just been appointed to the chair of physical chemistry at Lund University, Professor Ingvar Danielsson from Abo Akademi in Turku, Finland came for a sabbatical. Abo Akademi was the world-famous institution for physical chemistry where the founder of the institution. Per Ekwall, along with pupils such as Ingvar Danielsson, Krister Fontell, and Leo Mandell, had developed much of our fundamental understanding of surfactant systans, including micellization, phase behavior, and liquid crystallinity. On his retiranent from Abo, Ekwall moved to Stockholm to found the Laboratory (later Institute) of Surface Chemistry, while Danielsson took over his chair in Abo. My first contacts with surfactant science and much of my learning were with this Stockholm-Abo research community.
