Research Interests
The research interests of Reiner Giesa focus on the processing of small amounts of polymers into fibers, films, and three-dimensional objects. Preferred methods are material conditioning, grinding, compounding, filament production, and material testing. The investigated materials are high-temperature polymers, fiber polymers, crosslinkable polymer systems, as well as polyolefins. Also he has a great interest in developing new methods and their adaptation in various research areas, such as polymeric gradients, melt electrospinning, hydrogel characterization, and special processing methods on a small scale.
