Composite, Polymer, Environment, Durability, Adhesive, Urethane, Thermal Analysis, Failure Analysis
Currently working on development and testing of biodegradable polymer blends (some nanocomposite in structure) for commercial applications, although development is from fundamental materials science viewpoint this includes oversight of scale up and production trials. The work is heavily reliant on…
R&D Project Design, Paper Coatings, Additives & Nanocomposite Materials, Colloid Chemistry, Polymers
He is actively leading researches in the field of controlled free-radical polymerization mediated by Reversible Activation-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) in homogenous and heterogeneous media. The uniqueness of his work lies in the combination of modern methods of controlled free-radical polymerization…
Applied Rubber Technology, Design of Experiments, and Training in Both
The primary rubber-forming process he works in is molding, including compression, transfer, and injection methods. His experience with molded products is broad, including automotive weather strip, milking inflations, various types of vibration mounts, seals, diaphragms, aerospace components, vehicle tracks, and…
Polymer Rheology and Plastics Processing
Expert is currently working on constitutive modeling of the extensional behavior of molten plastics. He has developed models that allow the behavior in extension to be inferred from measurements in exponential shear. The material behavior in exponential shear is measured…
