Sažetak

Josip Kratohvil (February 26, 1928 - May 9, 2020) received his bachelor's degree in chemistry at the University of Zagreb in 1952 followed by his doctoral degree in physical chemistry in 1954. He served as a junior faculty member at the University of Zagreb, followed by a year in London and Ottawa in post-doctoral programs. In 1952, he married Stanka Babić, a colleague at the university. Together, they left Croatia in search of a better life and emigrated to the United States in 1960, making Potsdam their home.
For over 40 years, he held a number of positions at Clarkson University, including Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Institute of Colloid and Surface Science. In 1998, he was made Professor Emeritus. He was the editor of the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science and published more than 60 scientific papers in the area of colloid chemistry, which he described for the layman as "the science of very small matter." He was a longtime member of the Advisory Board of the journal Croatica Chemica Acta.
