After a short hiatus, The Chemist returns with a special issue honoring these three remarkable scientists, professors, and awardees in the field of chemistry. The issue begins with an overview of Dr. Starnes’ vast accomplishments and work of over fifty years with the poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in both industry and academia. Particular attention is paid to the development of ester thiols as thermal stabilizers for PVC.1 We also detail Dr. Peng Chen’s work with Single-Molecule Catalysis and Dr. Richard Kaner’s remarkable journey and story with polyaniline nanofibers that detail the journey from laboratory curiosity to commercial products. This issue also includes contributions from Shenoy et. al  on Imidazo Pyridine Derivative as a New Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel and Evidence of Macromolecular Structure of Humic Acids from Compost from Campasso and colleagues. We also present Kulkarni’s work on Theoretical Validation of Medicinal Properties os Ocimum sanctum and some desert electrochemistry in Jordan where Dr. Amayreh details the construction of a locally used Cactus (Opuntia) Battery. Lastly, this issue includes Barron’s work on Animals and the great war and Dr. Chen's article on the proper selection and application of mathematical models for estimating occupational exposure to chemicals.

The on-going COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted all of our lives in ways no one could have predicted. The role that chemists and other   Download (pdf)
scientists have played in the response, treatment, and recovery efforts has been paramount. With thisissue, we seek to highlight the impact that scientific discovery and advancement can have in our world. We are currently accepting submissions for all types of articles in every field of chemistry for our upcoming issue and sincerely hope that you all consider submitting an article for consideration. We wish you all health and happiness in 2021 and beyond!
