| Summary: | The famous Russian scientist Mikhail Mikhailovich Dubinin had a substantial influence on the state of the present theory of physical adsorption of vapours and gases on microporous solids. He was born in Moscow on the first day of the 20th century and had the good fortune to be active in surface science — an extremely interesting branch of physical chemistry — during the period of its rapid development from his 20th year up to the last days of his long and fruitful life in 1993. As a student at Charles University, the author of the present article had the good fortune to become acquainted with Dubinin during the latter's first visit to Prague in May 1955 and later to be involved in extensive scientific contact with him up to the last days of his life. The author feels that he has a moral duty to record for readers of Adsorption Science & Technology not only some historically important features of the development of the universal theory of adsorption of vapours on microporous solids but also an explanation of the present state of this theory. |
