About Dr. Bernhard Wessling
For many decades, I have done and lead fundamental and applied research in polymer chemistry, dispersion and materials' properties. All of this was done in a private small / medium-sized company into which I had invested a lot of money myself (money which came as a huge loan from a bank), and I served as CEO of the company while also working as my own R&D director with lots of active work in lab and production and at customer sites as well. A key part of the research was devoted to conductive polymers (polyaniline) and its dispersion, which we as pioneers succeeded to introduce into several industrial applications, one of which (printed circuit board final finish) achieved w/w market leadership. The research itself lead to several groundbreaking insights and new theories, e.g. a non-equilibrium thermodynamical theory of dispersions / emulsions.
