Undoubtedly, the 70 th birthday is a milestone in every university professor's career and constitutes a central event in the perception of the academic community with regard to both research and teaching. As friends, collaborators and colleagues, we, the undersigned, felt that the best way of marking these two occasions would be (I) to organize a symposium dedicated to chemical thermodynamics, the central scientific theme in his life, and (II) to ask former collaborators, students and his many professional friends to honor him through publishing their contribution(s) in a Special Chapter of the Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (JTAC).The symposium, entitled Symposium International de Thermodynamique des Fluides Complexes et des PolymÀres, was held at the University of Pau, France, in conjunction with the 37 Àmes Journées de Calorimétrie et d'Analyse Thermique, on 2 June 2006. The authors of the manuscripts included in this Special Chapter represent only a fraction of those who -over decades -have collaborated with him and/or came to work with him in Clermont-Ferrand. They come from different countries in Europe and overseas, and are testimony for his lifetime efforts in chemical thermodynamics and physical-property research as well as for his continuous international scientific influence. It is our hope that this small tribute to Professor Grolier will stimulate future research work, in particular among younger colleagues, in these exciting and important areas of physical chemistry.Jean-Pierre E. Grolier was born in Constantine, Algeria (then part of France), on 22 December, 1936. Here he received his primary and secondary education. His Licence-Às-Sciences Physiques (MS) and Doctorat-Às-Sciences Physiques (PhD) were both received at the University of Clermont-Ferrand (BPU) in 1961 and 1970, respectively. His PhD dissertation (supervisor was Professor A. Viallard) dealt with thermodynamics of, and molecular interactions in, liquid mixtures containing esters and alcohols, a topic which has accompanied him for many years. In due course he then became Assistant Professor (1971) and
