Adolf Martin Pleischl

Adolf Martin Pleischl (10 October 1787 – 31 July 1867) was an Austrian chemist and medical doctor.

In 1815 he obtained his medical doctorate from the University of Prague, where he later served as a professor of general and pharmaceutical chemistry (1821–1838).

In 1838 he relocated to the University of Vienna, where he also redeveloped and modernized its chemical and pharmaceutical facilities.

Pleischl is credited with the creation of a safe non-metallic enamel for coating metal dishes.
