Professor Lina Zhang of Wuhan University, an Associate Editor for ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, passed away on October 17, 2020. Professor Zhang was a global leader in natural polymers. Her scientific achievements were remarkable. She pioneered low temperature technologies for processing of cellulose, chitin, and polyaniline (PANI) using green solvents. She constructed novel functional materials from these natural polymers and demonstrated their application. She was an author on more than 600 papers and 100 patents. The scientific quality of her work has been recognized globally. She was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011 and was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2014, recognizing her leadership in green chemistry. The Cellulose and Renewable Materials Division of the American Chemical Society recognized her contributions to the science of polysaccharides with the 2011 Anselme Payen Award, making her the first Chinese scientist to win the award. We will remember Lina Zhang as a fellow Editor for ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. She was named an Associate Editor in 2017 and since then had been tireless in advancing the field of sustainable, biomass-based materials through her own work, through encouraging the work of young scientists, and through curating work in bio-based materials in our journal. We will remember her role in breaking ground for women at the highest levels of science and as a champion of sustainable chemistry. Now, each spring, when cherry blossoms bloom around the world, we will think of Wuhan and remember Lina Zhang as a generous and gracious colleague with a lasting legacy and impact on our field.
