This book originated out of the papers presented at the special
symposium, "Electrochemistry in Transition-From the 20th to the
21st Century," scheduled by the Division of Colloid and Surface
Science during the American Chemical Society meeting in Toronto.
The symposium was in honor of Professor J. O'M. Bockris, who
received the ACS award on "The Chemistry of Contemporary
Technological Problems" (sponsored by Mobay Corporation) during
this meeting and who also reached his 65th birthday in the same
year. The symposium was of a multidisciplinary nature and
encompassed the fields of theoretical and experimental elec
trochemistry, surface science, spectroscopy, and electrochemical
technology. The symposium also had an international flavor in that
the participants represented several countries Australia, Belgium,
Canada, Chile, England, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Poland,
Switzer land, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, and the United States. The
symposium was graciously sponsored by the ACS (Petroleum Research
Fund and Division of Colloid and Surface Science), Alcan
International, Dow Chemical Company, EG&G, Electrolyzer
Corporation, Exxon, General Electric Company, IBM, Institute of Gas
Technology, International Association of Hydrogen Energy, Johnson
Matthey, Inc., Kerr-McGee Corporation, Medtronics, and Texas
A&M University (Center for Electrochemical Systems and Hydrogen
Research and the Hampton Robinson Fund). The "theme" of the papers
presented at the symposium covered not only significant
contributions made to electrochemistry in the twentieth century,
but also "New Horizons in Electrochemistry" for the twenty-first
century. Thus, the scientists who presented papers were invited to
contribute chapters to this book, having the same titles as the
symposium."
