About Hans-Georg Elias (source: wikipedia):
Hans-Georg Elias (* 1928) is a German chemist.
Career: After studying chemistry at the University of Hanover, he received his doctorate in 1957 under Franz Patat at the TH Munich, now the Technical University of Munich, with the topic of isolation and characterization of chondroitin sulfuric acids.[1] In 1961 he completed his habilitation at ETH Zurich, where he worked as a private lecturer from 1961 to 1963 and as an assistant professor of organic chemical technology from 1963 to 1971. From 1972 he worked at the Michigan Molecular Institute (founded name Michigan Macromolecular Institute), of which he was the first director until 1983. He retired in 1996.
Work: 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. In particular, the four-volume work Macromolecules (later editions in English under the title Macromolecules) and the monograph An introduction to plastics should be mentioned here.
