Research

  • identification of polymer chemical composition,
  • synthesis and application of polyurethane ionomers as intermediates for production of waterborne paints, dispersion, glues, and ecological polyurethane coatings,
  • kinetics of diisocyanate and polyols polyaddition, reactivity assessment of polyurethane materials,
  • processing and application of polyurethane powder coatings, synthesis of poly (urethane-siloxane) and poly(urethane-acryl) as hydrophobic coating materials,
  • study on polyurethane biodegradation,
  • thermo stability of polymers as measured by thermogravimetry,
  • study on polymer coating properties including surface properties using goniometric measurements of contact angles and evaluation of surface free energy.
