Heinz Rehage

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Rehage (born September 5, 1952 ) is a German chemist .

Life

After graduating from the Robert-Koch-Gymnasium in Clausthal-Zellerfeld in 1972, he was a candidate reserve officer in the Air Force . His last rank was lieutenant in the reserve . From 1974 to 1979 he studied at the TU Clausthal and the University of Göttingen . In 1982 he received his doctorate with Heinz Hoffmann at the University of Bayreuth with a thesis on "Rheological investigations on viscoelastic surfactant solutions". He also carried out research at the Collège de France (among others with Pierre-Gilles de Gennes ). In 1989 he completed his habilitation in physical chemistry . In 1991 he was appointed to the Hans Goldschmidt endowed professorship at the Institute for Physical Chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen . In 2004 he took over the chair for physical chemistry II at the University of Dortmund .

From 1989 to 1992 he was appointed to the Werner-von-Siemens-Ring . From 1994 to 1996 he was the spokesman for the DFG graduate school “Improving the water cycle in urban areas to protect soil and groundwater” and in 2001/03 he was the spokesman for the DFG graduate school “Reactivity in Shallow Areas”. Among other things, he took on positions on the boards of the Kolloidgesellschaft e. V. and in the detergent chemistry section of the Society of German Chemists . From 1998 to 2000 he was a member of the IUPAC commission “Oils, Fats and Derivatives”, from 2000 to 2004 he was an “Associate Member of the IUPAC Commission 160” (“Colloid and Surface Chemistry including Catalysis”). From 2009 to 2012 he was Dean of the Chemistry Faculty at TU Dortmund University.

Private

Heinz Rehage is married and has two children.

Research interests

His scientific work deals with modern topics in the field of colloid and interface chemistry. The focus of interest is fundamental studies on the synthesis, structure and dynamics of surfactant and polymer solutions, foams, emulsions, gels, ultra-thin layers and nanoparticles. Further focal points are devoted to the control and deformation of microcapsules in electric or magnetic fields and in currents. Complex systems of active colloids, such as B. the development and investigation of self-floating capsules, form the central topic of recent scientific work.
