Expertise: My research focuses on polymer engineering and polymer nanocomposites, with an emphasis on developing sustainable and high-performance materials. I integrate nanotechnology with polymer science to create biodegradable, recyclable, and multifunctional materials for applications in packaging, electronics, textiles and structural composites. By bridging fundamental materials science with industrial applications, I aim to drive sustainability and innovation in next-generation polymeric materials.

Brief Biography

Dimitrios Papageorgiou studied Physics and Materials Science and obtained his PhD in Polymer Nanocomposites from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He then moved to The University of Manchester as a Research Associate working under the Graphene Flagship project, investigating the use of graphene and other 2D materials as reinforcements for multifunctional, polymer-based nanocomposites. He is currently a Lecturer in Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London.
