Research and development efforts in polycarbonate materials resulted in more than 430 patents (179 are granted in the United States) for Dr. Dieter Freitag.
In 33 years at Bayer AG, he rose to the positions of Head of Materials Research, Director of the Plastics Business R&D Group, and Chair of the Materials Research Committee.
While at Bayer, Dr. Freitag invented a technology for a modified polycarbonate for Philips Electronics that was to become the basis for the high-volume compact-disk industry.
Other work resulted in a transparent yet tough polycarbonate for large, thin-walled plastic sheet and a polycarbonate that exhibits superior heat resistance for lighting, appliance, and medical device applications.
After he retired from Bayer in 2000, Dr. Freitag joined Triton Systems to work in the field of flame-retardant polymers. Dr. Freitag studied chemistry at the Universities of Freiburg and Frankfurt, and received a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Frankfurt.
Other awards and achievements: • Received the Otto Bayer medal in 1985 • Received the Hermann F. Mark medal in 1997 (Austrian Research Institute for Chemistry and Technology) • Awarded Honorary Doctor of Sciences in 2000 (Russian Academy of Sciences) • More than 75 scientific articles and presentations.
