Dr. Lehman received his Ph.D. in Ceramics and Materials Engineering from Rutgers University in 1976 in the area of inorganic glass science. Prior to joining the Rutgers faculty in 1982, he worked at Manville Corporation and FMC Corporation in the areas of glass research, development and manufacturing, and in industrial chemicals and polymers as commercial development manager and product manager for polymer additives. Dr. Lehman is interested in the glass transition and the processing and properties of inorganic and organic glasses, particularly the mechanical, optical and chemical behavior of commercially important systems. His current research is focused on the mechanical and chemical properties of polymer blends, with principal focus on immiscible blends, the behavior of the interface, and applicability of these systems in structural and biomedical applications.
