Excerpt
We are proud to introduce this special collection of papers in Journal of Materials Science dedicated to our friend, mentor and colleague Professor Larry L. Hench, who passed away on December 16, 2015, at the age of 77. Larry Hench was an undisputed giant in the field of materials science. His work was transformative in the creation of bioactive materials: a new class of biomaterial that addressed a critical application where there was an unmet need. While he is well known for his discovery of Bioglass, Larry’s contributions were broad and impactful. He was a humble leader, who led by example and always had time for students and those who looked up to him. Professor Paul Hatton (University of Sheffield, UK) said it best:…“When leaving his company, one couldn’t help but be inspired to go off and try and do great things.”
