Encyclopedia of Lubricants and Lubrication

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Theo Mang received his diploma in mining engineering in 1963 and his PhD in chemical engineering in 1967 (University of Clausthal, Germany). He has been Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the RWTH Aachen, Germany, since 1998. He started working in the field of lubricants at Fuchs in Mannheim in 1967 and became head of the technical department in 1980. He has been a member of the Executive Board of the global Fuchs Group from 1983 until 2001, responsible initially for technology and later for group purchasing and human resources. Professor Mang is a recipient of the Georg-Vogelpohl-Award of the German Society of Tribology and has published about 80 publications.
