Robert Hans Schuster (born 8 September 1942) is the former director of the German Institute for Rubber Technology[1] (DIK) and a popular lecturer on rubber technology.[2]
Education[edit]
Schuster earned a Dipl.-Chem. in 1967 from the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Romania. He earned a Doctor of Science in February 1984 at the Staudinger Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry at the University of Freiburg with a dissertation on the topic of "thermodynamic investigations on polystyrene-solvent systems" under advisor H.J. Cantow.[3]
Career[edit]
From 1984 to 1992, Schuster led the Department of Chemistry and Physics of Elastomers at DIK. In 1992, he was appointed director of the DIK. He was also a lecturer at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry in the University of Hanover since 1987, and he held the rank of professor there since April 1996.[3] His most cited work treats the subject of fractal filler networks in rubber.[4]
