from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nikolai Alfredowitsch Platé ( Russian: Николай Альфредович Платэ ; born November 4, 1934 in Moscow ; † March 16, 2007 ibid) was a Russian chemist , polymer chemist and university professor .

Life

Platé was the son of Alfred Felixowitsch Platés, chemistry professor at Lomonossow University Moscow (MGU), and his wife Raisa Nikolajewna nee. Selinskaja, artist, and grandson of chemist ND Selinski . Platé graduated from Moscow Middle School No. 110 in 1951. He then studied chemistry at MGU, graduating in 1956. He then became a junior scientist at the chair for polymer chemistry there under WA Kargin , as well as WA Kabanow and NF Bakejew . In 1956, Platé married his classmate Natalja Wassiljewna Schachowa. Their son Alexei was born in 1959 and their daughter Ekaterina in 1972. In 1960, Plate became a lecturer at the chair for polymer chemistry at MGU. In 1961 he received his doctorate as a candidate in chemical sciences .

In 1963, Platé as a senior scientist for the Institute of Petrochemical - Synthesis (now Toptschijew -Institute for petrochemical synthesis) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) and headed the group for polymer modification. In 1967 he received his doctorate in chemical sciences . Since 1971 he has been one of the editors of the Russian trade journal Polymers . From 1985 he also taught as a professor at the chair for polymer chemistry at MGU. In the same year he became director of the Topchiev Institute for Petrochemical Synthesis and remained so until his death.

From 1973 to 1987, Platé was a full member of the Macromolecule Chemistry Commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). In 1974 he became a corresponding member of the AN-SSSR. 1980 until his death he was a member of the Selinski Prize Jury of the AN-SSSR and the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN). In 1987 he became a full member of the AN-SSSR. Since 1995 he has been a member of the Russian Federation's Commission on UNESCO Affairs. He was a foreign member of the Tajik Academy of Sciences and the Kazakh Academy of Sciences . In 2001 he became vice president of RAN. He was a member of the Presidium of the Russian Pugwash Committee of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs and the Academia Europaea .

Platé developed a quantitative theory of the reactivity of functional polymer groups as a basis for the modification of polymer materials. He discovered the liquid crystal polymers with mesogenic groups, which led to a new generation of liquid crystal polymers and composites for applications in optics and electronics . He also developed polymers for medical and biological applications: selectively absorbing materials for detoxifying the human organism and biocompatible polymer materials for prostheses , organs and tissue. Under his leadership, a new form of presentation of insulin for administration without injection was developed for the treatment of diabetes , which has been successfully clinically tested.

In 2005, Platé married Olga Nikolajewna Emanuel, daughter of his older colleague Nikolai Markowitsch Emanuel . Platé's grave is in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery .
