Corrosion award to Chch scientist
A Department of Scientific and Industrial Research worker in Christchurch has become the first South Islander to win a special Australasian chemical and corrosion award.
Mr Dennis Hills, of the D.S.I.R.’s industrial development division, won the A. C. Kennett Award for 1988.
His winning paper on the degradation of plastics and rubbers was presented to an Australasian Corrosion Association symposium in Christchurch last year. The award, jointly sponsored by the A.C.A. and the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, was established in 1984 in memory of Mr Arthur Kennett, a
member of both bodies. It is made for the best research into non-metallic corrosion.
Mr Hills has been involved in the plastics and rubber industries for more than 30 years. He is New Zealand’s only fellow of the Plastics and Rubber Institute. He has been a D.S.I.R. scientist for 15 years.
