Election Remark
Jean M.J. Fréchet (born August 1944) is a French-American chemist and professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.

He is best known for his work on polymers including polymer-supported chemistry, chemically amplified photoresists, dendrimers, macroporous separation media, and polymers for therapeutics.

Ranked among the top 10 chemists in 2021,he has authored nearly 900 scientific paper and 200 patents including 96 US patents.

His research areas include organic synthesis and polymer chemistry applied to nanoscience and nanotechnology with emphasis on the design, fundamental understanding, synthesis, and applications of functional macromolecules.
 
Jean M. J. Fréchet focuses on Polymer, Polymer chemistry, Dendrimer, Nanotechnology and Organic chemistry.

Jean M. J. Fréchet has researched Polymer in several fields, including Chemical engineering, Chromatography, Catalysis, Monolith and Capillary action.

As a part of the same scientific family, Jean M. J. Fréchet mostly works in the field of Polymer chemistry, focusing on Polymerization and, on occasion, Analytical chemistry.
 
His Dendrimer research integrates issues from Polyester, Macromolecule and Photochemistry, Chromophore.

The concepts of his Nanotechnology study are interwoven with issues in Nanolithography, Surface modification, Photovoltaic system, Polymer solar cell and Small molecule.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Combinatorial chemistry and Liquid crystal in addition to Organic chemistry.

In 2011, he was elected as member of the European Academy of Engineering.
