Abstract

This special issue of FU Phys Chem Tech is dedicated to Professor Radosav M. Palic on the occasion of his 70 th birthday. Dr. Palic has made important contributions in many areas of chemistry, his main interest being the chemistry of volatile plant metabolites and their antimicrobial activity. He was the pioneer of the phytochemical research at the University of Nis. The authors of the papers published in this issue (all manuscripts underwent a rigorous peer-review process) are his former students and/or his scientific collaborators, who are grateful to him for his contribution to the development of chemistry not only at the University of Nis but also in Serbia. PREDGOVOR SPECIJALNOM BROJU CASOPISA FU Phys Chem Tech, POSVECENOM PROFESORU RADOSAVU M. PALICU, U CAST NJEGOVOG 70. ROĐENDANA Ovaj specijalni broj casopisa FU Phys Chem Tech je posvecen profesoru Radosavu M. Palicu, u cast njegovog 70. rođendana. Dr Palic je dao znacajan doprinos razlicitim oblastima hemije, a najvise se bavio proucavanjem hemije isparljivih biljnih metabolita i njihovom antimikrobnom aktivnoscu. Profesor Palic je bio pionir fitohemijskih istraživanja na Univerzitetu u Nisu. Autori radova objavljenih u ovom broju (svi rukopisi su podvrgnuti naucnoj recenziji) su njegovi bivsi studenti i/ili saradnici, koji su mu zahvalni na svemu sto je on ucinio za razvoj hemije ne samo na Univerzitetu u Nisu, vec i u Srbiji uopste.
