Cements Division S. Brunauer Award
Cements Division - S. Brunauer Award
The Brunauer Award is given yearly by the Cements Division for the best paper on the topic of cements published by the American Ceramic Society during the previous year. This award is intended to encourage submission of high quality papers for publication by the Society. Eligible papers must first be nominated by a Fellow of the Society who is a member of the Cements Division. A committee made up of officers of the Cements Division then selects the winner. The name of this award honors Dr. Stephen Brunauer, who spent much of his long and illustrious career studying cements. A native of Hungary, Brunauer came to the United States in 1921 and received a PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1933. He was a professor emeritus of Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY when he died in 1986. He is perhaps best known as an author of the famous 1938 BET paper (Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller) on “Adsorption of Gases in Multi-Molecular Layers”. His contributions to cements include a well known microstructural model of the C-S-H gel phase of cement paste. Stephen Brunauer received the Cements Division Award of Distinction, later renamed the Copeland Award, in 1977. |
