My PhD study involved synthesis, purification, and polymerization of monomers and new inimers containing reactive functional groups for preparation of single chain nanoparticles. Throughout my PhD, I grew up to have expertise in:Multi-step organic synthesis; Preparation and characterization of nanoparticles; silicone chemistry; preparation of a variety of polymer architectures ( linear,hyperbranched,...etc.); execution of controlled radical polymerizations (ATRP and RAFT); Characterization… Show more My PhD study involved synthesis, purification, and polymerization of monomers and new inimers containing reactive functional groups for preparation of single chain nanoparticles.

My time at Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute was busy working on industrial projects in collaboration with many Petroleum companies. In addition, working on two projects for my master degree in organic chemistry and another research project to develop polymer nanocomposites for constructions applications. A) Industrial projects: 1- Analysis and data processing of petroleum materials (gas, oil, condensate,...etc) 2- Writing technical reports and data… Show more My time at Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute was busy working on industrial projects in collaboration with many Petroleum companies.

A) Industrial projects: 1- Analysis and data processing of petroleum materials (gas, oil, condensate,...etc) 2- Writing technical reports and data presentations and presenting it in professional meetings B) Master thesis work:My MSc work was synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles from silicone polymers. The nanoparticles were used for separation of volatile organic compounds. I also studied the thermodynamic of interaction between solvents and the polymer nanoparticles using inverse gas chromatography.C) Other projects: 1- Investigation and evaluation of rubber and silicone rubber nanoparticles in epoxy resin toughening 2- Preparation and characterization of polymer nanocomposites with multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) and Montmorillonite Show less
