Georges Champetier
Georges Champetier , born the February 3rd 1905 with Paris, dead the February 18th 1980 with Paris is a Chimiste French. He was director of the University of industrial physics and chemistry of the town of Paris of 1969 with 1975 and managing director of CNRS.
Raise University of physics and of chemistry industrial of the town of Paris (41°), he studies then the chemistry of the polycetylenes under the direction of Andre Job. In 1928 he becomes assistant of Georges Urbain and is interested in the structure and the reactions of the Cellulose, natural Polymère. By his research, Georges Champetier brings new arguments in favor of the macromolecular theory of the Polymères due to the German chemist Hermann Staudinger (Nobel Prize of chemistry 1953). He thus studies by Diffraction X-rays the structure of different celluloses, their compounds of addition and several fibrous proteins, the such Kératine and the élastoïdine.
The role of Georges Champetier was capital for the development in France of the searchs for macromolecular chemistry, basic research as well as industrial research.
Georges Champetier was managing director of CNRS until in 1957 and director of the University of industrial physics and chemistry of the town of Paris of 1969 with 1975. He is elected with the Academy of Science in 1960.
