Education Profile

  • Ph.D., Kiel University, 1982
  • Dipl. Chemistry, Kiel University, 1977

Research Interests

Professor Peinemann’s research focuses on the development of multicomponent polymer-based membranes and adsorbents. Examples are self-assembled structures of block copolymers, stimuli-responsive membrane materials, metal/polymer and metal organic framework/polymer composites and highly cross-linked polymer membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration.
