The life of the character
1965438+On August 24th, 2008, He was born in Shawan Village, Panyu County, Guangdong Province (now Shawan Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou).
1936, graduated from Guangzhou Peizheng Middle School.
1938, admitted to the Department of Chemistry of National Southwest Associated University.
From June, 65438 to June, 0942, he stayed in school for postgraduate study, and studied under Professor Yang Shixian. Because of his integrity and rigorous academic attitude, he was appreciated by Yang Shixian.
65438-0943 started teaching in The National SouthWest Associated University. Because he was active and earnest, he was elected secretary of the chemistry department for two years.
1946, went to teach in the chemistry department of Nankai University.
From September 65438 to September 0947, he went to study in the United States with his wife Chen Ruyu and entered the Graduate School of Indiana State University. During his stay in the United States, he has been paying attention to the changes in the domestic situation.
1952, graduated from Indiana University with a doctorate in chemistry. At that time, during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the US authorities refused to let them return to China. In March, they entered Nargo Chemical Company in the United States for their livelihood, and first studied pesticides and drugs used for water treatment, and then studied ion exchange resins. His talents and achievements were valued by the company and he was hired as a senior researcher.
During the period of 1954, the Prime Minister led a government delegation to attend the Geneva Conference. He and a dozen classmates and friends called on international celebrities to cooperate with Premier Zhou in negotiating with the American delegation in Geneva and protest against the United States' prevention of their return to China.
1955 In the spring, how many people did the US government allow to return to China? At that time, the United States adopted a comprehensive blockade and embargo policy against China, so why didn't it break up a large amount of scientific and technological materials collected at ordinary times and send them to relatives and friends at home in batches? He also bought some instruments and chemical reagents urgently needed for his work after returning to China, packed them in an old box and passed the inspection smoothly.
1Feb. 956, after returning to China, I first went to my hometown of Guangzhou, and then taught at Nankai University at the invitation of my teacher Yang Shixian, engaged in the research of organic chemistry, pesticide chemistry and ion exchange resin. And engaged in organic chemistry, pesticide chemistry and ion exchange resin research. It took him only two years to successfully synthesize all the major kinds of ion exchange resins that existed in the world at that time.
1958 polymer teaching and research department was established to take charge of the teaching and research work of the project, and with the support of the state and leaders, the polymer discipline of Nankai University (the first polymer chemistry teaching and research institution in China) was established. In the same year, he successfully synthesized "styrene-type strong base 20 1 resin" and successfully extracted concentrated nuclear fuel "uranium -235" with spectral purity from depleted uranium ore. He made great contributions to China's atomic energy defense. To this end, the State Second Machinery Department specially funded Nankai University with 4 million yuan. Under his leadership, the first chemical plant of Nankai University specializing in ion exchange resin was built in China. The products of this factory are specially designed for the urgent need of nuclear fuel uranium for national defense construction. Created an ion exchange resin industry independently developed by China.
1On August 3, 958, Chairman Mao came to Nankai University to inspect the ion exchange resin workshop established under the guidance of He. 1958- 1959 Premier Zhou visited his laboratory twice to learn about the production of ion exchange resin and had a cordial conversation with him for nearly an hour. He listened to his introduction in detail and spoke highly of his pioneering spirit and outstanding achievements. Chairman and Premier visited He's invention three times, because ion exchange resin is directly related to the progress of China's first atomic bomb test. The leaders' attention makes He's R&D and production process more stable.
1959, was awarded as a model worker in Tianjin.
1964 was elected as a deputy to the Third National People's Congress.
1966, after the "Cultural Revolution" began, He's teaching and scientific research stopped, and he was sent to the factory to help guide the work.
1978 was elected as a deputy to the Fifth National People's Congress.
/kloc-0 joined China in April, 1979.
1980 was elected as a member, standing committee member and deputy director of the Department of Chemistry of China Academy of Sciences, and in the same year, he was named as a national model worker and a special model worker in Tianjin.
198 1 year, concurrently deputy director of the institute of molecular biology under construction. In the same year, he was rated as a special model worker in Tianjin.
1984 the former polymer teaching and research section of the chemistry department was divided into two teaching and research sections and two research institutes. He was the director of the polymer research institute.
1985, Nankai University and Tianjin University were appointed by the State Education Commission to support the new Qingdao University. In June, the provincial party committee and the provincial government issued documents (No.34 and No.39) respectively, appointing the first president of Qingdao University, and determining the responsibility of the president in Qingdao University.
1986, the chemical plant of Nankai University, which he founded in 1958, was merged into the Institute of Polymer Chemistry, which promoted the production of the chemical plant and the development of teaching and scientific research in the Institute of Polymer Chemistry.
It was not until 1988 that the commission of science, technology and industry for national defense awarded him the honorary badge of "Dedication to the cause of national defense science and technology" in recognition of his contribution to the successful research and development of the atomic bomb.
In 2000, 82-year-old He won the DuPont Science and Technology Innovation Award for his research on "High Selective Adsorption and Separation Functional Polymer Materials".
In 2006, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the birth of China's ion exchange resin industry, the industry committee specially awarded the only lifetime achievement award to He.
He died in Tianjin on July 4, 2007 at the age of 89.
Major achievements
achievements in scientific research
Mainly engaged in research and teaching of polymer chemistry. The early research fields were the synthesis, structure and properties of ion exchange resins and adsorption resins. From 65438 to 0958, the Second Machinery Department supported the establishment of Nankai University Chemical Plant, and successively developed dozens of ion exchange resins and adsorption resins, including the exchange resin for extracting uranium from mines, which contributed to the development of nuclear technology in China. After 1978, the research work expanded to the field of biopolymers, such as the resolution of D, L- amino acids by reactive polymers, the immobilization of enzymes, drug controlled release, blood purification and so on. In recent years, the catalysis of polymer-supported metals has been studied and successfully applied to catalytic hydrogenation and hydroformylation.
65438-0978, attended the conference "Chemistry and the Role of Chemical Industry in Industry" sponsored by UNESCO, and spoke on behalf of the delegation of China. Through contacts with all parties, the friendly and cooperative relations between McGill University, Toronto University and Nankai University in Canada have been promoted.
198 1 went to Japan to attend the Sino-Japanese polymer science seminar, and introduced the development of ion exchange resins in China.
1982 went to the United States to attend the international conference on pure chemistry and applied chemistry. It happened that the title of a Swiss paper was the same as that of He's report (about mimetic enzymes), but only where was the report given at the meeting, which showed that the organizers attached importance to China and respected him.
65438-0983 was responsible for preparing and organizing the 5th International Symposium on Hemoperfusion and Artificial Organs held in Tianjin, and read 6 academic papers, which were well received by participants at home and abroad. Later, he went to the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan and other countries to attend academic conferences and read papers, which attracted the attention of scholars from all over the world.
1986 went to the Soviet union to attend the hemoperfusion conference, 1987 went to the United States to attend the biomaterials conference, and 1988 went to Japan to attend the biomaterials conference.
He is often invited to attend international seminars on polymer science organized by foreign countries. From the early 1980s to the mid-1990s, several international conferences on "Polymer Medical Materials" were held in China with Peking University Feng Xinde and Wuhan University Zhuo respectively. Therefore, it won the 1996 Japan "International Cooperation of Polymer Science Society" award; In PolymerNews (Polymer News 2000), Professor OttoVogel of Massachusetts University published his resume and reported his research results in detail.

personnel training
From 65438 to 0958, He founded the Polymer Department of Chemistry Department of Nankai University. He has been teaching in the front line, teaching five courses successively, and sorting out and constantly supplementing and modifying the lecture notes on polymer chemistry.
After 1982, He Lin Bing devoted himself to the cultivation of graduate students. Up to 1992, 94 graduate students have been trained for the country, including 8 doctoral students/kloc-0 and 2 postdoctoral students. He devoted his life to polymer science education, and trained more than 600 undergraduates, 100 master students, 60 doctoral students, 15 postdoctoral students and advanced university teachers.
Considering the development of science and the needs of the country, the direction of postgraduate training has always focused on integrating theory with practice, and extended to the practice of joint production, paying special attention to the cross-infiltration of related disciplines, and expanding the topics of postgraduate courses and graduation thesis to biomedical engineering and biotechnology related to polymer chemistry. Based on years of teaching experience, he put forward the idea of interdisciplinary training of graduate students just after the Cultural Revolution. He has always insisted on recruiting some outstanding students from other chemistry majors, biochemistry and microbiology in the biological field, as well as chemical engineering, medicine and environmental science, so that they can pursue degrees in polymer chemistry and physics, and organize professors with rich teaching experience and accomplished young doctors to give lectures, paying attention to cultivating students' innovative ability and practical skills in solving problems, cultivating a group of talents who can undertake some marginal scientific and technological work for the country and meeting the needs of modern science and technology and national construction for senior professionals.
As an academic leader, He is very strict with the work of scientific researchers and especially cares about their lives. In the past 50 years, he has directed researchers and co-published more than 880 scientific papers, and won more awards than other major researchers. Some graduate students encounter difficulties in life, and he subsidizes them with his share of the bonus. His practice is an example to those around him. Everyone has been exposed to it, and gradually developed a good atmosphere, making Polymer Institute a United and upward research group.
Since the reform and opening up from 65438 to 0978, the discipline of polymer directed by He has developed rapidly. He devoted great efforts to the polymer teaching and research section, and the number of teachers increased from 8 to 63. On this basis, 1984 is divided into four parts, namely: polymer teaching and research section, bio-organic teaching and research section, polymer research institute (any director), and some people have joined the molecular biology research institute. 1985 polymer discipline was awarded doctoral degree, 1986 was approved as a postdoctoral mobile station, 1987 was approved as a national key discipline, and 1989 was approved as a national key laboratory of polymer materials with adsorption and separation function. It has become the only discipline of polymer chemistry and physics in China, which is not only a national key discipline, but also a national key laboratory. He Lin Bing, with his profound knowledge and lofty moral cultivation, has trained and attracted a group of outstanding young people to devote themselves to China's chemistry career and formed a team of polymer disciplines that have attracted much attention at home and abroad.
Taking Nankai University as a pilot, He actively advocated and implemented the "new teaching system combining teaching, scientific research and production", vigorously carried out application and development, and promoted the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. One of the doctoral students put forward the concept of hydrogen bonding adsorption in his paper, and extracted active substances from Ginkgo biloba leaves for development and utilization. After his participation in research, strong support and guidance, the results were successfully put into production and achieved remarkable economic and social benefits.
1989 won the first prize of outstanding teaching achievements in national colleges and universities by the State Education Commission "Establishing a new teaching system combining teaching with scientific research and production".
1993, won the first prize of excellent teaching achievement in Tianjin.
