Dr. Jürgen Klingen studied chemistry at the University of Duisburg/Germany, and received his doctorate from Prof. Robert Gillard at the University of Wales (Department Applied Chemistry) in the field of crosslinking of polyisoprene-based adhesives. For more than 35 years he held various positions in research, development and application engineering for the company 3M Deutschland GmbH, one year in corporate research in St. Paul/Minnesota, USA, where he worked on new high-performance adhesive systems for the European market. He received the 3M Corporate Circle of Technical Excellence Award for his research in this area. From 1996 to 2017, Dr. Klingen headed 3M's European Corporate Materials and Process Laboratory in Neuss, Germany, where he was responsible for technology development of new adhesives, tapes, films, coatings and polymer processing for Europe. Since the end of 2017, he has been working as a consultant for the development of bonding processes in industry and trade. Dr. Klingen is co-author of two technical books and sole author of one technical book as well as holder of several patents in the field of adhesive bonding technology.
