Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Composites (eBook)

Dr. Dimitrios Tasis has previously worked for more than in the prestigious group of Prof. Maurizio Prato in the field of chemical functionalisation of graphitic allotropes (2002-2004). During the last seven years he is teaching as Lecturer and Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science, University of Patras, Greece. His research interests include the chemistry of graphitic allotropes for the fabrication of multifunctional polymer composites. He is the co-author of 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings and book chapters. He has participated in 50 national/international conferences and delivered 10 invited lectures.
