Juliana Aristéia de Lima

Juliana has a background in Chemistry and a Ph.D in Polymer Chemistry.
She has more than 15 years dedicated to material science and deep experience and knowledge in topics as elastomeric polymer blends and nanocomposites with an emphasis in morphology and thermal properties. Extensive experience in transmission (TEM); and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX/EDS). Always focusing on the use of biocompatible and/or biodegradable materials aiming to reduce the damage to the environment and with dedication on issues related to rubber degradation and polymer recycling. This knowledge brought a new perspective in relation to the approaches that have already been made in terms of microplastics, especially the tire roads wear particles (TRWP).
