Richard Lehman

Dr. Lehman received his Ph.D. in Ceramics and Materials Engineering from Rutgers University. He joined the Rutgers faculty after several years experience working in the fiberglass and industrial chemical industries. During these years he held positions of research engineer and group leader of an applied research team. He later became commercial development manager for functional fluids and and product manager for polymer additives.

Dr. Lehman’s research academic 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.
