BikiarisLab participated in the 8th International seminar on modern polymeric materials for environmental applications which took place in Krakow, Poland, on 19th – 21st May 2023 at the University of Techology of Krakow.
Our group, along with the group of Prof. Chrissafis, had the opportunity to meet and discuss with experts and researchers involved in the field of polymer synthesis and characterization.
On 20th May morning, our PhD student, Georgia Michailidou, gave an oral presentation entitled: “Novel chitosan/2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol modified chitosan blends and their application in 3D printing”, disseminating results of her Ph.D. thesis, funded by Funded by the State Scholarships Foundation (IKY).
Furthermore, our group presented work performed in the context of our nationally funded projects.
