钱宝钧（1907-1996），江苏无锡人，中国化学纤维工业和纤维高分子科学的开拓者和奠基人之一，中国化纤专业教育的创建人之一，首届中国工程科学技术奖（光华奖）获得者。
QIAN Baojun (1907-1996), Wuxi, Jiangsu, one of the pioneers and founders of China's chemical fiber industry and fiber polymer science, one of the founders of China's chemical fiber professional education, winner of the first China Engineering Science and Technology Award (Guanghua Award).
钱先生早年毕业于金陵大学工业化学系，1935 年考取“庚款”留学英国，1937 年获曼彻斯特理工学院纺织化学系硕士学位，回国后从事纤维科学研究和高等纺织教育事业，历任金陵大学化工系教授、上海公益纺织研究所高级研究员，华东纺织工学院副院长、院长，中国纺织大学教授、名誉校长，第六届上海市政协常委、第三、五届全国人大代表、第四、五届中国民主同盟中央委员等。
Mr. QIAN graduated from the Department of Industrial Chemistry at Jinling University in the early years. In 1935, he went on to study in Britain for a “Geng Grant”. In 1937, he received a Master's degree in textile chemistry from the Manchester Institute of Technology. After returning to China, he engaged in fiber science research and advanced textile education. He has served as Professor of Chemical Engineering Department of Jinling University, Senior Researcher of Shanghai Institute of Public Weaving Textiles, Associate Dean and Dean of East China Textile Engineering Institute, Professor of China Textile University, Honorary President of the 6th Shanghai. He has served as The CPPCC Standing Committee, the Third and Fifth National People's Congress, the Fourth and Fifth Central Democratic League members.
钱先生在二十世纪五十年代初开创了我国以棉绒为原料的粘胶纤维研究，曾解决我国第一家万吨级粘胶帘子线厂工艺技术上的不少难题，六十年代起他在华东纺织工学院筹建化学纤维及高分子专业，并建立了化学纤维研究所及实验工厂，使之成为我国最早的培养从事化纤研究以及从事化纤工业的高层次人才的教学和科研基地。
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Mr. QIAN initiated the research of viscose fiber made from cotton velvet in China. He had solved many problems in the technology of China's first 10,000-ton viscose plastic cord factory. From the 1960s, he set up the chemical fiber and macromolecular specialty at East China Textile Institute, and established the Chemical Fiber Research Institute and experimental factory, making it the earliest teaching and research base for cultivating high-level talents engaged in chemical fiber research and chemical fiber industry.
长期以来，他在化学纤维成形工艺和理论、纤维结构与性能、纤维的热机械分析、大分子缠结、腈纶纤维及腈纶基碳纤维、冻胶纺高性能纤维等科研领域上取得了许多显著的、在国内外颇有影响的重要成果，并多次获国家和省部级的科技进步奖，多次被评为全国和上海市先进科技工作者。他的学术论著丰硕，曾任“国际聚合物加工杂志”、“国际聚合物工程杂志”编委，“高分子学报”和“高分子通报”编委及顾问等，多次在国际化纤会议、国际高分子加工年会、全国高分子学术年会等作大会邀请报告，出访国外著名的大学和科研机构作学术报告，是一位蜚声中外，深受人们尊重的学者。
For a long time, he has made many remarkable achievements in chemical fiber forming process and theory, fiber structure and performance, thermo-mechanical analysis of fibers, macromolecular entanglement, acrylic fiber and acrylic fiber, and frozen fiber spinning high-performance fiber. The company has won numerous national and provincial-level scientific and technological progress awards, and has been awarded the National and Shanghai Advanced Science and Technology Workers many times. He has a rich academic background. He was the editorial board member of the International Polymer Processing Journal, International Polymer Engineering Magazine, Polymer Journal and Polymer Bulletin Editorial Committee, and consultants. He has been invited to make reports at the International Chemical Fiber Conference, the International Polymer Processing Conference, the National Polymer Academic Conference, etc., and has visited foreign famous universities and scientific research institutions to make academic reports. He is a well-respected scholar who is renowned both at home and abroad.
钱先生学识渊博而治学严谨，诲人不倦而提携后学，他的学生可谓桃李逾九洲，他为国家在化纤科技界和工业界培养造就了一批又一批英才。他为人师表而无私奉献，曾捐款设五爱（爱祖国、爱人民、爱科学、爱劳动、爱社会主义）奖学金，他也是一位平易近人热爱事业和生活的普通人，他一直不倦工作至九十高龄，老而弥笃志且益坚，将毕生积蓄捐作学校的科研教学奖励基金。
Mr. QIAN was knowledgeable and rigorous in his study, he was tireless in teaching others and he carried on the younger generation. He has pupils all over the world. He trained a group of elites for the country in the chemical fiber industry and industry. He was unselfishly dedicated to his master. He had donated five scholarships for love (love the motherland, love the people, love science, love labor, and love socialism). He is also an ordinary person who loves his career and life. He has been working tirelessly till the age of ninety.The older he got, the deeper he loved.He donated his life savings to the school's research and Teaching Award Fund.
