About
Hermann Bach is a pioneering figure in the field of high-throughput experimentation for materials science, with a particular focus on organic coatings and thin films. His landmark 2003 review, "High‐Throughput Experimentation in Organic Coating and Thin Film Research," which has garnered 26 citations, systematically mapped the transition of automated, parallel workflows from pharmaceutical discovery into polymer and coating development. Bach’s major contribution lies in conceptualizing and demonstrating how combinatorial methods can accelerate the synthesis, screening, and optimization of protective and functional thin films—a paradigm shift that has influenced both academic research and industrial R&D. By drawing explicit parallels to drug-discovery successes, he provided a compelling roadmap for materials scientists to adopt high-throughput strategies, thereby reducing the time from formulation to application. His work is notable for bridging the gap between two traditionally separate disciplines, and his foresight in identifying future perspectives has made his review a foundational reference for researchers seeking to apply automation to coating technologies. Bach’s insights continue to guide innovation in durable, high-performance thin films.
