Walter Stockmayer (1914-2004), at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, showed that the size of such a tree containing N monomers is proportional to R Hence, a tree of this kind is a fractal, and its dimensionality... 

Maurice Huggins, Raymond Fuoss, Leslie Treloar, G. Stafford Whitby, Roelof Houwink, Walter Stockmayer, John Ferry, Bruno Zimm, Paul Doty, Richard Stein and William O. Baker. The number of stories that can be told about this period in the development of polymer science is very much larger than the page limit for this book. 

Walter Stockmayer made beautiful polymermusic for more than 60 years. He was a Renaissance man with degrees from both MIT and Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. After his Ph.D. in 1940 he worked on war projects at Columbia before returning to MIT in 1945. In 1952 he was promoted to Full Professor and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1956. He received the National Medal of Science in 1987 (Fig. 5.5). 

Walter Stockmayer was bom in Rutherford, New Jersey, on April 7, 1914 [3, 4]. His father was organic chemist and stimulated his interest in chemistry. As undergraduate student of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT (1933-1935) he became interested in the mathematical aspects of physical chemistry. From 1935 to 1937, a Rhodes Scholarship allowed him to work at the university of Oxford on gas kinetics with D. L. Chapman. After returning to the MIT he was teaching fellow for 1 year, and completed his studies with the Ph.D. in 1940. He continued his academic career at MIT as Research Fellow until 1941, when he moved to Columbia University as instmctor for 2 years. Afterwards, he returned to MIT as Assistant Professor until 1946, and was appointed as the Associate Professor until 1952. He was entitled Professor of Physical Chemistry...
