| Research Abstract |
Michael Polanyi was a Hungarian-born scientist. However, historical research on him has focused mainly on his philosophy in his later life. The present research elucidates Polanyi as a physical chemist in detail. Even in his gymnasium period, Polanyi was interested in physical chemistry. The subject of his doctor dissertation at Budapest University was adsorption potential. Its aim was to pursue physical understanding of chemical reaction. Chemical kinetics, Polanyi’s research interest during Manchester period, lies on the same line of it.
