GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Professor Dinesh O Shah, a world figure in the area of Colloid and Interface Science and Professor of Chemical Engineering and Anestheology and Director, Centre for Surface Science and Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, sponsors the annual award. The award is in line with the V K Lamar Award for the best Ph.D. Thesis in Surface and Colloid Science instituted by the American Chemical Society in 1960. Professor Schulman was a pioneer researcher in this area and was Professor Shah’s teacher at Columbia University. Professor Shah sponsors this award to honour the memories of his great teacher. 2. Objective: The objective of the award is to promote excellence and to provide encouragement to doctoral students of universities/institutes/R&D establishments in India working in this area pertaining to a broad spectrum of topics and disciplines mentioned below: Adsorption at Interfaces Micelle Formation and Solubilization Wetting, Contact Angle and Adesion Liquid Crystalline Phases Detergents Catalysis Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Emulsions, Microemulsions, Nanoparticles Food Technology and Pharmaceuticals Flotation of Minerals Pesticide Formulations Petroleum Engineering Processing of textiles and leather Environmental Engineering including Soil Remediation and Water Purification Inks and Paints Self-Assembly of Molecules or Structures Lubrication and Tribology, Friction, Surface Roughness Biomaterials Processing of Electronic Materials. 3. Eligibility: A person who submitted Ph.D. Thesis incorporating research works in the broad area of colloid and interface science in the period 01.01.2014 to 30.04.2016 is eligible for nomination for the year 2016. Nominations in the above format with copies of (i) the complete thesis; (ii) papers published, accepted for publications, or submitted for publication, in 10 sets (on CDs), should reach the IIChE Headquarters at the address given at the top of the nomination form on or before May 31, 2016. 4.
