Shirakawa Hideki(born Aug. 20, 1936, Tokyo, Japan) Japanese chemist. He earned a Ph.D. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1966. After graduation he began teaching at the University of Tsukuba. In 1977 he started collaborating with Alan J. Heeger and Alan G. MacDiarmid, conducting experiments on the polymer polyacetylene. Their work demonstrated that certain plastics can be chemically changed to conduct electricity almost as readily as metals. Other conductive polymers were later discovered, and the finding was expected to play a significant role in the emerging field of molecular electronics. With Heeger and MacDiarmid, Shirakawa was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2000. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The university is home to several Nobel prize winners, including Hideki Shirakawa, who won the 2001 prize for chemistry, and a large population of leading scientists and researchers. Three researchers who had worked together at the University of Pennsylvania--Alan Heeger of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Alan MacDiarmid of the University of Pennsylvania, and Hideki Shirakawa of the University of Tsukuba in Japan--shared that award. Japanese Nobel laureates Hideki Shirakawa in 2000 and Ryoji Noyori in 2001, both academics who won the prize in chemistry, may have had an impact on the choice of desired jobs, Dai-ichi said. |
