Biography

Lucía Pérez Amaro, PhD, has her expertise in Polymeric Materials Science and Technology. She received her PhD in 2008 (University of Concepción, Chile) and her Master’s degree in Materials Engineering in 1999 (University Simón Bolívar, Venezuela). In particular, in the recent years (CNR- Italy), she gained expertise in the chemical modification of 2D nanostructured additives, their dispersion in polymeric matrices and the assessment of the ultimate properties of the final nanocomposites obtained. Her expertise also includes, thermo-mechanical modification of polymer blends and composites, assessment of the biodegradability of biodegradable and bio-based polymers modified with different functional additives, dispersion of oxo additives in polyolefin and their blends with biodegradable polymers, chemical recycling of aromatic polyester, functionalization of polyolefin and the assessment of their properties for water treatment applications.
