    • Work experience in carrying out : 1. New eco-friendly synthetic and renewable multi-components polymeric materials obtained considering methods as: - Improved miscibility at molecular level considering physical and physico –chemical interactions: blends, hybrids, nano-hybrids, bio-nano-hybrids based on starch, copolymer (ethylene – vinyl acetate), polyvinyl –chloride, thermoplastic polyurethane, polyethersulphone, polyvinyl alcohol etc; , - Multilayered silicate treatment before melt incorporation into polymeric matrix as method to avoid the polymer degradation at melt processing incorporation into starchy matrix. Improving the barrier properties of polymers for eco-friendly food packaging carrying out; - Foaming of polymeric blends, hybrids and bio –nano –hybrids; - Controlled degradation of polymers: controled degradation of polyolefines for obtining modified viscosity additive for multigrade oil; - Chain extension of polycondensation polymers: POSTC – PET recycling by chain extension; - Controlling the polymer ability to crystallize by nucleation: PP with controlled morphology for injection; - Polymers plasticizing: hydrosoluble packaging based on PVOH for hard handling powders; - Control of the polymer chemical degradation by proper diminishing of the internal friction and by stabilization. New renewable materiales based on starch designed for eco – friendly applications. The diversification of the polypropylene grades based on the stabilisation systems; - Distillation, oxidation and physical modification of asphalt mass for obtaining polymeric – bitumen composites for runways in road constructions; - Physical modification of bitumen with the obtaining of eco – friendly materials for corrosion, anti-vibration and anti-abrasive protection of the metal surfaces; - Physical modification of regerated rubber for permanent plastic mastic obtaining 2. New eco – friendly biodegradable and biocompatible multi-components polymeric materials, designed as scaffolds for tissue engineering and reconstruction - New hydrogels for adipose tissue regeneration and reconstruction 3. Microencapsulation - Shell – core microspheres from reactants used in decontamination of soil polluted with petroleum products. 4. Post consumed polymers mechanical recycling - Hydroinsulation sheets from low density polyethyloene from green houses and solars; - Polypropylene from used accumulators; - PE bags used to transport PVC powder; - POSTC – PET;
