DUNCAN ARTHUR MACINNES, FOREMOST AMERICAN ELECTROCHEMIST
Abstract:
<p align="justify"> Duncan Arthur Macinnes, one of the worlds outstanding electrochemists, was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Marah 3l, l885, and died on September 23, 1965. He graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering in 1907 and obtained a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois in 1911. He held positions mainly at M.I.T and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. His most important contributions deal with the determination of transference numbers by the moving boundary method, development of the glass electrode, and experimental confirmation of the Debye-Hllakel Theory. </p>
