Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Academician Mikhail Mikhailovich Dubinin (1901–1993), the eminent Russian scientist who made an outstanding contribution to adsorption science—one of the most important subdisciplines of physical chemistry. A brief account of his life, professional carrier, and scientific achievements is presented.
