At the Materials Science and Technology 2010 Conference & Exhibition, there will be a symposium organized to commemorate the work of C. Jeffrey Brinkley, who recently won the 2010 Robert B. Sosman award. According to the American Ceramic Society webpage, the Robert B. Sosman award is the highest recognition of scientific accomplishment given by the Basic Science Division and is given in recognition of outstanding achievement in basic science of an area that result in a significant impact on the field of ceramics. The awardee presents a plenary lecture at the ACerS Annual Meeting, and receives a certificate commemorating the event and a piece of glassware. The lecture is given each year by the awardee who has been deemed by the award committee to have made the most significant contribution to the field of ceramics.
According to the MS&T '10 website, "For his work, [Brinkley] is recognized around the world as a foremost expert in the field. He has contributed to our fundamental understanding of sol-gel processing, including kinetics of reactions, kinetics of growth and fractal structure of the solider clusters formed in solution, and the pore structure, surface chemistry, and densification behavior of the dried gel. The symposium will focus on sol-gel science and applications. The talks in this half-day symposium will be by invitation only and will feature recent investigations on the chemistry of sol-gel processing, fundamental behavior of hels, and recent materials developed by this technique."
So this week, the Ceramic Engineering Blog honors C. Jeffrey Brinkley for his advancements in sol-gel technology and his dedication to the field of ceramics engineering.
