The main object is the synthesis and investigation of molecular and nanosized composites obtained by radical polymerization of vinyl monomers (methyl methacrylate, styrene, N-vinylpirrolidone etc.) in the presence of different compounds (polyheteroarylenes [polyimides, polyamides, polyarylenes etc.], nanoparticles [silica, in particular] etc.)
1. Radical thermo- and photopolymerization
2. Molecular composites and nanocomposites
3. Copolymers obtained by polymerization of unsaturated monomers in the presence of polyheteroarylenes
4. Kinetics of monomers polymerization (Calorimetry, Real-Time FTIR and ESR)
5. Hybrid composites containing silica
6. Characterization of molecular and nanocomposites (SEM, Thermal Analysis [DSC, TGA and TMA], NMR, FTIR, GPC (SEC), Mechanical properties)
7. High performance polymers, polycondensation
