Stockmayer became interested in the mathematical aspects of Physical Chemistry as an undergraduate at MIT . A Rhodes Scholarship brought him to Jesus College, Oxford , where he undertook gas Kinetics research with D. L. Chapman. Stockmayer returned to MIT for Ph.D. research and pursued his study of Statistical Mechanics , which he later continued at Columbia University . He returned again to MIT in 1943 to study the theory of network formation and the gelation criterion. Stockmayer increasingly directed his attention to theories of polymer solutions, light scattering and chain dynamics. After a Guggenheim Fellowship in Strasbourg , Germany, he returned once more to MIT, then moved to Dartmouth College in 1961. There, he worked primarily on Copolymers in dilute solution, established the journal '' Macromolecules '', and collaborated with many Japanese scientists. EXTERNAL LINKS |
