Otto Vogl (November 6, 1927 – April 27, 2013) was an American chemist, polymer scientist, and educator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In Memoriam Otto Vogl )〕 ==Life and work== Otto Vogl was the Herman F. Mark Professor Emeritus of the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, and Professor Emeritus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is noted〔http://www.pse.umass.edu/ UMass, PSE, September 2009, pps. 69–71〕 for his work on the polymerization of higher aldehydes〔O. Vogl, Polymerization of Higher Aldehydes. J. Polym.

Ed, (2000)Vol. 38(24), pgs. 4327–4335〕 Vogl was the chairman of the American Chemical Society Division of Polymer Chemistry and the president of the Pacific Polymer Federation.〔http://www.polyacs.org/46.htm〕 He was a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He was on the editorial board of virtually every polymer related journal and was for years the editor-in-chief of ''Progress in Polymer Science'', the international review journal. Vogl was born in Traiskirchen, Austria, near Vienna. He attended the local elementary school and the Realgymnasium in Baden bei Wien. In 1945, Vogl began his studies in chemistry at the University of Vienna. His doctoral thesis, on steroids, was carried out under the guidance of Professor Friedrich Galinovsky. He obtained his PhD in April 1950. In October 1948, Vogl was appointed an instructor at the II. Chemical Institute of the University of Vienna. He left for the United States in 1953. He spent three years as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Michigan (1953–1955) and Princeton University (1955–1956). He spent the years 1956-1970 at E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.. In 1970, Vogl was appointed professor in the new program of polymer science and engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. At the beginning of 1983, he accepted the newly created position of Herman F. Mark Chair of Polymer Science at Polytechnic University. In 1996 he retired, and returned to the University of Massachusetts.〔Otto Vogl, My Life with Polymer Science, J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Chem. Ed. Suppl. Ed, (2004) Vol. 42(3), pgs. 795–818 .〕〔http://works.bepress.com/otto_vogl〕 In addition to his scientific activities, Vogl was a dedicated philatelist. He had a considerable collection of stamps, mainly from Austria and Japan. His Austrian collection provided a link to his native country. The Austrian Philatelic Magazine ''Die Briefmarke''〔http://www.aijp.org/AIJP_cz/News_lang.php?nr=32&Sprache=en〕 dedicated a voluminous article to Prof. Vogl in 2008.〔Thomas Rieger, From Traiskirchen to Massachusetts, Die Briefmarke, 12/2008, p. 40..〕 The City Museum Traiskirchen ordered a special edition of stamps from the Austrian post office with Vogl's picture on it; the edition was only produced in 200 pieces. Also, his strong interests in the arts〔Progress in Pacific Polymer Science, B.C. Anderson, Y. Imanishi (eds), Springer Verlag, Polymer Science and the Arts, pps. 393–413, Berlin, Heidelberg (1991)〕〔Christopher W. McGlinchy, Lining Adhesives Used in Painting Conservation, pps 415–423, see also M.S. thesis, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY, 1991〕(he collaborated with the Metropolitan Museum in New York) may have helped to create the notion of a radiant uniqueness that turns persons into personalities. Vogl died at home in Amherst, Massachusetts, on April 27, 2013, and was buried in Wildwood Cemetery. He was survived by his wife Jane C. Vogl, their son Eric Vogl of Houston, Texas, and their daughter Yvonne of New York, as well as by eight grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.〔http://www.umass.edu/loop/content/obituary-otto-vogl-pioneering-polymer-scientist〕 Otto Vogl was a well-known polymer pioneer who contributed to the health and vitality of polymers in several major ways. First, he contributed to the science of polymers as already noted. Second, he served effectively as an ambassador for science and for polymers to the world. Along with the "feel good" aspect, he made valuable connections with senior scientists, allowing an international exchange of ideas and approaches. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otto Vogl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
