Research interests:

• synthesis of various modifying additives for thermoplastic polymers and protective coatings having improved performance attributes: low volatile plasticizers with high migration resistance, thermally stable cationic biocides, low toxic antifouling agents and corrosion inhibitors;
• synthesis of functionalized ionic liquids having reduced toxicity and improved biodegradability which are promising for the use as non-volatile plasticizers and antimicrobial agents for thermoplastic polymers; - surface chemical modification of polymers for medical applications;
• synthesis of internal melt-rheology modifiers for polycondensed polymers; - synthesis of new protic ionic liquids having high ionic conductivity;
• development of polymer-electrolyte membranes for high-temperature fuel cell applications based on thermally stable polymers (polyimides, polybenzimidazoles, polyoxadiazoles, polytriazoles, bacterial cellulose) and protic ionic liquids
