Günter Victor Schulz
Günter Victor Schulz (born October 4, 1905 in Łódź ; † February 25, 1999 in Mainz ) was a German chemist.
Life
Günther Victor Schulz was born in 1905 in Łódź, which at that time belonged to Russia. In 1914 he moved to Berlin with his parents . Schulz studied chemistry in Freiburg , Munich and Berlin and received his doctorate in 1932 at what was then the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for physical chemistry under Fritz Haber and Herbert Freundlich . In 1936 he completed his habilitation with Hermann Staudinger in Freiburg.
In 1942 he accepted a position as associate professor for physical chemistry at the University of Rostock and in 1946 moved to the University of Mainz , where he headed the institute for physical chemistry. In 1973 he received the Hermann Staudinger Prize , and in 1980 he was awarded the DECHEMA Medal .
Axel Müller is one of his doctoral students .
Work areas
His areas of work were the physical chemistry of macromolecular systems, especially the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymerization reactions. Schulz calculated the molar mass distribution together with their number and weight average in the case of free-radical polymerization, initially assuming that the termination was due to disproportionation , later also for a combination termination ( Schulz-Flory distribution , molecular weight distribution ). Schulz's work in this area has been of fundamental importance in understanding polymer properties .
Honors
On January 23, 2019, building 2321 of the Chemistry / Physics Lecture Center at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz was named Schulz-Horner Building.
