Eugene G. Rochow, associate professor of Chemistry, has been awarded the Carothers Research Professorship for 1952-53 which will free him of teaching duties this year for full-time research in inorganic chemistry. He will seek basic knowledge of the nature of silicones and the reasons for their industrially valuable properties...
Professor Rochow, an industrial chemist before he joined the Harvard faculty in 1948, is an international authority on silicon compounds. This year he will investigate ways of preparing organic silicon compounds which are the base of carborundum, next to diamonds the hardest material known, and in another form free flowing oils which stay find at low temperatures...
