John H. Dillon Medal

photo medal award folders

Help recognize early-career polymer physicists who have demonstrated exceptional research promise by donating to the John H. Dillon Medal.

From 1997 until 2023, the medal was sponsored by Elsevier, publisher of the journal Polymer. We are working to establish an endowed fund to sustainably support the medal into the future and increase this award's stipend from $2,000 to $5,000, making it on par with other APS awards recognizing early-career physicists.
