Besides the practical work on his PhD, since then he also was employed at ITCF as a scientific coworker on a part-time basis. As such he was working together with the members of my working group on a public research project dealing with integration of nano-particles into polymer melts. At that work and at his PhD work, as well, | got to know his way of working as very well determined and purposeful. Furthermore by his very polite and friendly attitude he was immediately accepted and integrated into the existing lab-team. With his helpfulness to everybody and his advice he contributed a lot to the success of the entire team. | myself learnt to know Mr. Sarbandi as being a very pleasant and extremely frank and open-minded cosmopolitan. a fh f fhno— Dr. Rainer Gutmann Kreissparkasse Essingen, Kto, 917920, 8LZ 611 50020, IBAN-Nr, OE0S 6115 0020 0000 9173 20, SWIFT-AIC.
