Prof. Dr. Heinz Rehage

On the occasion of the 16th European Detergents Conference, which took place as a virtual event on October 28, 2020, the Division of Detergent Chemistry presented this 2020 award to Prof. Dr. Heinz Rehage.

"The prize is awarded to Prof. Dr. Heinz Rehage in recognition of his fundamental work in the fields of surfactant and colloid research. His work on foams, gels, emulsions, nanoparticles and ultra-thin films is characterized by a high level of creativity, but at the same time is very practical and application-oriented. In particular, his work on controlled colloidal systems shows new ways for innovative strategies in materials science. Prof. Dr. Heinz Rehage has received many awards, including the Innovation Award of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in 2001. He worked for many years on the Board of the Division of the detergent chemistry specialist group and was also involved in other scientific organizations such as the Colloid Society and several IUPAC commissions."
