Dr. Lehman received his Ph.D. in Ceramics and Materials Engineering from Rutgers University in 1976, and prior to joining the Rutgers faculty in 1982, he worked at Manville Corporation and at FMC Corporation in the areas of glass research, development, and manufacturing, and in industrial chemicals and polymers as commercial development manager and product manager for polymer additives.
Dr. Lehman’s research interests center on the glass transition and the processing and properties of inorganic and organic glasses, particularly the mechanical, optical and chemical behavior of commercially important systems. His current research is focused on the mechanical and chemical properties of polymer blends, with principal attention towards immiscible blends, the behavior of multiphase composite interfaces, and applicability of these systems in structural and biomedical applications. He is also active in developing manufacturing technologies for commercial soda lime silicate glasses, particularly in the area of recycled raw materials.
