Research Interest

Biodegradable Polymers

• Synthesis of biodegradable polymers (copolymers and its polyblends) based on lactone compounds and natural products with polyolefine derivatives (such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene).
• Synthesis of poly(urethane-ester) from poliol of lactone segments and natural products with diisocianate derivative compounds.
• Novel polystyrene and their derivatives as biomaterials.
• Synthesis of composites from natural fibres and polyolefine derivatives.
