<biogHist>
<abstract>The Battaerd-Jordan Australian Polymer Medal was inaugurated in 1973 by the Polymer Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. Awarded occasionally, initially in 1974, the Medal recognises outstanding contribution to polymer science in Australia. Originally styled the Australian Polymer Medal, the Medal was later renamed in honour of Hans Battaerd and Denis Jordan, the inaugural recipients of the Medal. Jordan was President of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute in 1979 and Angus Professor of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry University of Adelaide from 1955to 1979. Battaerd was a senior research chemist at the Central Research Laboratories, ICI Australia.</abstract>
