Martin Möller (chemist)
Martin Möller (born June 28, 1951 in Zweibrücken ) is a German chemist. He is a professor at the Institute for Textile Chemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University . He is known for research on polymer chemistry and functional nanotechnology .
Möller graduated from high school in Blankenese and studied chemistry in Hamburg (pre-diploma) and Freiburg from 1971, which he completed with a diploma in 1977. In 1981 he did his doctorate there under Hans-Joachim Cantow . As a post-graduate student , he was a Fedor Lynen Fellow at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst . He then went back to Freiburg as a research assistant at the Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry, where he qualified as a professor in 1989 and was then Professor of Polymer Technology and Macromolecular Materials at the University of Twente . In 1993 he became Professor and Head of the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Department at Ulm University and in 2002 Professor of Textile Chemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University. From 2003 to 2019 he was director of the German Wool Research Institute (DWI), which became part of the Leibniz Association in 2013 as DWI - Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials .
Möller deals with polymer research (functional polymers, branched polymers, copolymers, block copolymers) and self-organization of macromolecules, with surface modification and construction of functional nanostructures.
He is a member of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences (since 2005) and the German Academy of Science and Engineering (Acatech) .
In 2003 he and Ben Feringa , Niek van Hulst (Twente) and Justin E. Molloy (National Institute of Medical Research, London) were one of the recipients of the Körber Prize for European Science for work on a light-driven molecular motor that operates on surfaces emotional. For 2014 Möller was awarded the Hermann Staudinger Prize .
