Profile Michael Nase

Expertise

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Michael Nase has held the professorship for "Plastics / Polymer Technology" at the Hof University of Applied Sciences since September 2013. In 2018, Prof. Dr. Nase was appointed head of the Institute for Applied Biopolymer Research (now: Institute for Circular Economy of Bio:Polymers) (ibp), which he co-founded and which he still manages today. His research area ranges from basic research to industrial, highly application-oriented research in the field of polymers. The following topics are among his research focuses:

Industrial R&D:

  • Qualification of biopolymers for use in plastics / polymers processing
  • Lightweight construction using polymers and building materials from renewable raw material
  • Investigation of the recyclability of plastics / polymers


Basic Research:

  • Structure-property correlations of biopolymers and natural materials in engineering applications, particularly using concepts of experimental fracture mechanics
  • Influence of chemical and physical structure on the flow / rheological properties of polymers, biopolymers and recyclates using common plastics / polymers processing methods
  • Identification and utilization of biogenic raw and residual materials
