Dr. Zacharoula Iatridi (over 20 papers in international refereed journals) is a Research Scientist in Polymer Science. She has been a Post-Doctoral researcher at Greek Universities (University of Patras, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) as well as in the Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences (ICE-HT) in Patras. She studied Material Science at the University of Patras and obtained her Master and Doctorate awards in 2006 and 2009 respectively, in Polymer Science and Technology from the University of Patras in Greece. Her research interests cover the area of water-soluble and amphiphilic copolymers. Specific areas of interest include: synthesis of comb-type copolymers, study of stimuli-responsive polymers, polymer-surfactant interactions, polymer-metal interactions and controlled release of biocides from polymer-metal hybrid materials, interactions of polymers with magnetic nanoparticles, synthesis of polymer hydrogels, synthesis of injectable hydrogels, drug release from polyampholyte self-assemblies, polymer-coated nano- or micro-particles (e.g. SiO2, Fe3O4 nanoparticles).
