Department of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks and Systems

Head of Department,
D.Sc., professor, Sergeyeva L.M.

Fundamental fields of scientific effort:

• Synthesis, mechanism of formation and properties of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of different types (ionomer-containing, thermoplastic, and gradient) and preparation of composites based on them.
• Study of curing kinetic and microphase segregation of components during IPN formation, investigation the influence of fillers on these processes.

The leading scientists of the Department:

• Alexander Fainleib, D.Sc. - thermoset IPNs and copolymers;
• Lyudmila Karabanova, D.Sc. - gradient IPNs;
• Valentyna Matyushova, D.Sc. - photopolymers;
• Oleksandr Brovko, Ph.D. - morphology and properties of IPNs
• Olga Grigoryeva, Ph.D.- thermoplastic IPNs, functionalization of polyolephines;
• Larissa Golovko, Ph.D. - polyurethane coatings;
• Lyudmila Stepanenko, Ph.D. - polyurethane adhesives;
• Vitaliyi Matyushov, Ph.D. - optic polymer materials.
