TitleSoloman, David Henry: certificate of election to the Royal Society
DescriptionWord processed certificate.
CitationDavid Solomon is known primarily for his polymer research and especially for free radical polymerisation studies and mechanistic control which led to novel block, graft and monodispersed polymers. This understanding allowed the manufacture of unique nano-gel particles which are at present being exploited by Dupont and Gradipore. Another major project devised by Solomon was the Australian plastic banknote. This technology has been extraordinarily successful and has earned hundreds of millions of dollars for the Reserve Bank worldwide. Solomon has also played an important role in introducing modern polymer technology to industry, by example and through his papers and books.
