Walter Hugo Stockmayer (April 7, 1914 in Rutherford, New Jersey – May 9, 2004 in Norwich, Vermont) was an internationally known chemist and university teacher. A former member of the National Academy of Sciences, he was recognized as one of the twentieth century pioneers of polymer science. His specific interest was in theory and experiment for the structure and dynamics of polymer molecules, including various uses of the light scattering method.

  • Walter Hugo Stockmayer (April 7, 1914 in Rutherford, New Jersey – May 9, 2004 in Norwich, Vermont) was an internationally known chemist and university teacher. A former member of the National Academy of Sciences, he was recognized as one of the twentieth century pioneers of polymer science. His specific interest was in theory and experiment for the structure and dynamics of polymer molecules, including various uses of the light scattering method. 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. He introduced the Stockmayer potential. 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 for the academic year 1954/1955 in Strasbourg, France, 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. Stockmayer is mentioned as a friend of the author in the novel Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, and is described as a distinguished pianist and a good skier. A fellowship in honor of Professor Stockmayer was established at Dartmouth College in 1994. (en)
  • Walter Hugo Stockmayer (Rutherford, 7 de abril de 1914 — Norwich, 9 de maio de 2004) foi um químico estadunidense e professor universitário internacionalmente conhecido. Ex-membro da National Academy of Sciences, ele foi reconhecido como um dos pioneiros da ciência dos polímeros no século XX. Seu interesse específico era em teoria e experimento para a estrutura e dinâmica de moléculas de polímero, incluindo vários usos do método de espalhamento de luz. Stockmayer começou a se interessar pelos aspectos matemáticos da físico-química durante sua graduação no MIT. Uma bolsa de estudos da Rhodes levou-o ao Jesus College, em Oxford, onde realizou pesquisas sobre a cinética do gás com DL Chapman. Ele apresentou o potencial Stockmayer. Stockmayer voltou ao MIT para o doutorado, pesquisou e prosseguiu seus estudos de mecânica estatística, que mais tarde continuou na Universidade de Columbia. Ele voltou ao MIT em 1943 para estudar a teoria da formação da rede e o critério de gelificação. Stockmayer cada vez mais direcionou sua atenção para as teorias de soluções de polímeros, dispersão de luz e dinâmica da cadeia. Após uma bolsa Guggenheim para o ano acadêmico de 1954/1955 em Estrasburgo, França, ele retornou mais uma vez ao MIT, depois mudou-se para o Dartmouth College em 1961. Lá, ele trabalhou principalmente em copolímeros em solução diluída, estabeleceu o jornal Macromolecules, e colaborou com muitos cientistas japoneses. Stockmayer é mencionado como amigo do autor no romance Breakfast of Champions, de Kurt Vonnegut, e é descrito como um distinto pianista e um bom esquiador. Uma bolsa em homenagem ao Professor Stockmayer foi estabelecida no Dartmouth College em 1994. (pt)
