About Hans-Georg Elias (source: wikipedia):

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

Career: After studying chemistry at the University of Hanover, he received his doctorate in 1957 from Franz Patat at the Technical University of Munich, today's Technical University of Munich, with a thesis on the isolation and characterization of chondroitin sulfuric acids.[1] In 1961 he habilitated 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), of which he was the first director until 1983. In 1996 he retired.

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. The four-volume work Macromolecules (later editions in English under the title Macromolecules) and the monograph An introduction to plastics deserve special mention here.
