Herbert Freundlich is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physical chemist known for colloid science and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm
Herbert Freundlich was a German physical chemist and a founder of colloid science, best known for the Freundlich adsorption isotherm describing adsorption on surfaces. Of Jewish descent (his father was Jewish), he was forced to leave Germany in 1933 under Nazi persecution and continued his career in Britain and the United States. His empirical isotherm remains widely used in surface and environmental chemistry.
