Richard Maling Barrer FRS (16 June 1910 - 12 September 1996) was a New Zealand-born chemist. His areas of research included gas permeability of membranes and zeolite science, of which he was a founding figure; he also gave his name to the zeolite Barrerite. The Barrer, a unit of gas permeability, is also named after him.〔R. Ravishankar, Johan A. Martens, Pierre A. Jacobs, "The scientific legacy of the late Richard M. Barrer, FRS", ''Microporous Materials'' 03/1997; 8(s 5–6):283–284. 〕 The son of New Zealand sheep farmers, his undergraduate degree was from Canterbury College (now University of Canterbury), in Christchurch, New Zealand. In 1932 he received a 1851 Exhibition Scholarship which allowed him to study at Eric Rideal's Colloid Science Laboratory in Cambridge University. At Cambridge he was also a keen cross-country runner, winning the 1934 Oxford-Cambridge race and being awarded a Full Blue for Athletics. He received his PhD from Cambridge in 1935 and DSc's in 1937 (New Zealand) and 1938 (Cambridge). He was a research fellow at Clare College, Cambridge 1937-1939, head of chemistry at Bradford 1939-1946, taught at Bedford College, University of London 1946-1948, professor of chemistry at University of Aberdeen 1948-54, and professor of physical chemistry at Imperial College, London 1954-76. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1956.〔 He wrote over 400 papers, 3 monographs and held 21 patents.〔 The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Society for Chemical Industry give a Richard Barrer Award every three years for work in porous inorganic chemistry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imperial.ac.uk/centenary/timeline/1950.shtml )〕 He died on 12 September 1996 at Chislehurst, London from cancer. ==References== 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「Richard Barrer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
