He along with Santi Rangan Palit at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, could be regarded as the creator of the first rigorous research schools for polymer science in India. He went on to practise the discipline with great distinction and further its cause. He trained a generation of coordination and polymer chemists in the country and brought visibility to research in Indian polymer science during the period between 1955 and 1990.

Abstract


With the passing of Prof. Mushi Santappa on 26 February 2017 at the age of 93, we have lost a chemist of distinction and leader in macromolecular sciences in the country. He along with Santi Rangan Palit at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, could be regarded as the creator of the first rigorous research schools for polymer science in India. He went on to practise the discipline with great distinction and further its cause. He trained a generation of coordination and polymer chemists in the country and brought visibility to research in Indian polymer science during the period between 1955 and 1990.
