		PHILADELPHIA -- Alan G. MacDiarmid, Ph.D., Blanchard Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, is one of three recipients of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
		Dr. Heeger, 64, was a physicist on the Penn faculty from 1962 to 1983 and directed the University's Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter from 1974 to 1981.
		MacDiarmid, Heeger, and Shirakawa were responsible for the 1977 synthesis and the electrical and chemical doping of polyacetylene, the prototypical conducting polymer, and the rediscovery of polyaniline, now the foremost industrial conducting polymer.

		Heeger is also chief scientist for UNIAX, a company he founded that was acquired last year by Dupont.
		In 1977 Heeger and his colleagues discovered conducting polymers, a novel class of materials with electrical and optical properties like metals and semiconductors coupled with the mechanical and processing advantages of polymers.
		Applications of work by Heeger and his associates include conducting polymer blends for electromagnetic shielding and for antistatic packaging, and semiconducting polymers for use in the emerging field of plastic electronic devices, which already include diodes.

		In collaboration with Hideki Shirakawa and colleague physicist Alan Heeger, you demonstrated that the organic polymer, polyacetylene, could be chemically doped to exhibit metallic properties, thus discovering a phenomenon completely new and unexpected to both the chemistry and physics communities.
		During your extended stay at the University of Pennsylvania your work in collaboration with Alan MacDiarmid and Alan Heeger resulted in the chemical doping of polyacetylene to produce the first conductive and semiconductive polymers.
		With your colleagues Alan MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa you demonstrated that the conjugated polymer polyacetylene could be chemically doped to produce a new highly conducting form of matter.

		Before Shirakawa, MacDiarmid, and Heeger made their seminal discovery in 1977, the idea that a plastic could conduct electricity as well as a metal would have seemed ludicrous.
		Conducting polymers have yet to take the marketplace by storm, but they are beginning to have a commercial impact, says Arthur J. Epstein, a professor of physics and chemistry at Ohio State University.
		MacDiarmid invited the Japanese chemist to Penn to collaborate with him and Heeger, who then was also on the Penn faculty, on further studies of this metallic-looking polymer.
