Mrs. Konstantina Chronaki has received her Diploma in Chemical Engineering in 2016 and currently she is a Ph.D. candidate in the Laboratory of Polymer Technology, NTUA. Her Ph.D. Thesis, entitled “A study of solid state polymerization as heat treatment for polymers” focuses on the study of Solid State Polymerization as heat treatment of polymers. Currently she is focused on the research in the area of forming micro/nanoparticles of biodegradable polymers and optimizing their barrier properties. Furthermore, since 2017, she participates in the demonstration of several laboratory/workshop exercises.
