Research Areas

Prof. Plank (*1952) works in the field of inorganic (cement chemistry, silicates, aluminates, phosphates, CaSO4 phases) and organic binders (latex dispersions, epoxy resins, polyurethanes). He also deals with construction chemical additives (polycondensate resins, polycarboxylates, cellulose ethers, siloxanes, biopolymers), colloid chemistry, interface and surface phenomena as well as nanochemistry (nanomaterials and composite materials).
