John Aspland has been named as the recipient of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists’ (AATCC) Olney Medal for outstanding achievement in the field of textile chemistry.

Mr Aspland's research has included fluorescence of dyeings; fastness properties of dyeings on novel polymers; the influence of fibre, yarn and fabric parameters on the physical properties of coated fabrics; synthesis of isotopic tracers for studying diffusion in nylon dyeing; and the interactions between pigment particles and polymers.

Mr Aspland has been active in textile chemistry for more than 50 years as scientist, researcher and academic. He has published more than 145 articles in peer-reviewed journals and in conference proceedings and holds two patents.

The award will be presented at the AATCC international conference, which is being held April 1-3 in Asheville, North Carolina.
