from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Georg Elias (* 1928 ) is a German chemist.

Career

After studying chemistry at the University of Hanover , he did his doctorate in 1957 under Franz Patat at the Technical University of Munich, today's Technical University of Munich, with the subject of the isolation and characterization of chondroitin sulfuric acids . In 1961 he completed his habilitation at the ETH Zurich, where he worked from 1961–1963 as a private lecturer and from 1963–1971 as an assistant professor for organic chemical technology. From 1972 he worked at the Michigan Molecular Institute (founding name Michigan Macromolecular Institute), whose first director he was until 1983. In 1996 he retired.

In addition to around 200 scientific publications and patents in the field of synthesis, characterization, properties and structure of synthetic and biogenic polymers, Elias is the author of ten books, some of which have become standard works. The four-volume work Macromolecules (later editions in English under the title Macromolecules ) and the monograph An introduction to plastics should be mentioned here.
