We are delighted to announce that the following paper has been selected to receive the 9th Feng Xinde Polymer Prize for the Best Chinese Paper published in the journal polymer during 2014:
Long-term kinetics of DNA interacting with polycations
Cui Zhenga, Lin Niua, Wei Pana, Jihan Zhou, Hua Lv, Jianjun Cheng, Dehai Liang
This prize was named in honor of Dr. Xinde Feng, who has significantly contributed to the creation and development of modern polymer chemistry in China. In the late 1940s he was the first professor to offer a course on polymer chemistry, and he helped in the development of polymer science through the organization of meetings and symposia involving both Chinese and foreign scientists.
The Award includes a certificate and a medal for the author of the winning paper plus a 1000 USD cash award. Each author of the nomination papers received a nomination certificate and a nominating medal.
