Research interest
Structure-property correlations in polymers and multicomponent polymer systems; interfacial phenomena in heterogeneous polymers (blends, particulate filled and fibre reinforced composites); transport phenomena in polymers; degradation and stabilization of polyolefins; reactive processing of polymers
Current research projects
- Correlations among the chemical reactions taking place during the melt processing of HDPE, the resulting chain structure of the polymer and the properties of the final product (film)
- Study and modification of interfacial interactions in carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites
- Study of miscibility/structure/property correlations in polymer blends
- Preparation and study of layered silicate nanocomposites
- Preparation of biologically degradable polymers from naturally occurring raw materials, characterization of their structure and properties
