About Me

Welcome to my personal site.

I'm Herwig Juster. Thanks for visiting my site.

I'm a polymer engineer, blogger, author,  and a highly skilled specialist for plastic materials with +10 years of professional experience within the plastics industry.

I hold a Ph.D. in polymer engineering respectively polymer injection moulding from the Johannes Kepler University (Austria) and a master and bachelor in polymer engineering and science from the University of Leoben (Austria). My engineering education is complemented by a master in Industrial Management and Business Administration (IMBA) also from the University of Leoben (Austria).

"There are no limits to what science can explore. " - Ernest Solvay

"Without Natural Polymers, There is No Life; Without Synthetic Polymers, No Standard of Living" - Prof. Dr. Hans Uwe Schenck

My professional core competencies are: 

• Application of high performance polymers:

  • Amorphous: PC, PSU, PESU, PPSU, PEI, PAI

  • Semi-crystalline: aliphatic and semi-aromatic Nylons (PA 6, PA 6.6, PARA, PPA), PPS, PPE, PEEK, PAEK, Fluoropolymers (PTFE, PFA/MFA, PVDF), 

  • Fluids: PFPE and Elastomers: FKM and FFKM

  • Bio-based and recycled materials

• Polymer material selection (technical requirements analysis and specification, material price evaluation, direct coordination with Tier-1 and OEM engineering teams in Automotive)

• Material development (highly filled plastic compounds)

• Data analytic solutions for the Plastics and Processing Industry

• Metal-to-Plastic and Plastic-to-Plastic replacements 

• Processing, application technology, and problem solving assistance (with focus on injection moulding)

• Business development generation (marketing, market assessment, new projects and material identification, and new customers prospecting)

• Technical Market Development and Market Intelligence for Polymers 

Now that you know a little about me, I’d like to know: how can I help you? If you want to put plastics to work for your business, we should talk.
