Zygmunt Florenty Wróblewski Doctoral Award
The Doctoral Award is awarded for a doctoral dissertation defended in the calendar year preceding the year of submitting the application.
Zygmunt Florenty Wróblewski (1845-1888) studied the properties of gases and metals at low temperatures and the diffusion of gases. He determined the critical temperatures of a number of gases, including the critical parameters of hydrogen. In 1882, he was the first to produce carbon dioxide clathrate and investigate its basic properties. In 1883, together with Karol Olszewski, he made the world's first liquefaction of oxygen and nitrogen, which was a major event in the scientific world of that time. Later, both scientists also solidified carbon dioxide and alcohol.
