4. Professor Karel Napoleon Balling (1805 - 1868)
Alumni of UCT Prague
Professor Karel Napoleon Balling ( )
He introduced lectures and exercises in analytical chemistry.
His work excelled in fields of fermentation chemistry and sugar industry.
Professor Emil Votoček ( )
graduated He achieved worldwide recognition in sugar chemistry.
In analytical chemistry, he developed a new method for the determination of halogens (mercurymetry), new detection methods (Votoček’s agent – malachite green).
Professor Otto Wichterle ( )
graduated In 1940 he found caprolactam production technology (polyamide fibers) called Silon. He succeeded to prepare poly-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) transparent gel that is used for contact lenses.
Professor Vladimír Prelog ( )
graduated The Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in 1975 for his contribution to the stereochemistry of organic molecules and understanding their reactions.
