Speaker BiographySteffi Sensfuss received the diploma in Organic Chemistry in 1983 and a doctorate degree in 1987 in Polymer Chemistry under the mentorship of Dr. Elisabeth Klemm in the group of Prof. Hörhold at University of Jena. During this time the main research activities were the development of optical adhesives and dental materials. Since 1998 she works at the TITK in the group of Prof. Heinemann. The main research activities are now in the field of applied research of conducting polymers. Presently she heads the activities of TITK group for polymer solar cells and polymer gel electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells. Company ProfileBased on the originally pure textile competence the TITK has been developed to a top-modern, worldwide well-known institute for materials research, particularly for natural and synthetic polymers. As a technical oriented research institution the TITK is carrying out fundamental as well as applied research close to the industry.
Working fields:
- Synthesis of polymers and additives
- Characterisation, forming and functionalising of polysaccharides, especially cellulose and proteins
- Technical textiles
- Fibre reinforced composites
