The physicist who takes on toilet paper

Siegfried-Hustedt-prev.jpgSiegfried Hustedt is often overcome with dread when he is forced to use other people’s toilets…. The experimental physicist works for Procter & Gamble’s research center in Schwalbach, Germany, near Frankfurt, where together with his fellow researchers, he is developing the toilet paper of the future.

So says an April 23 report in Der Spiegel.

Dr. Hustedt is perhaps best known for U.S. Patent #D450460, “Surface pattern for a soft, flexible disposable wipe.”

(Thanks to investigator Kristine Danowski for bringing this to our attention.)
