An EconoTimes perspective

Itziar Iraola Arregui

Since I finished my studies in polymeric materials, I have been working on two branches of materials science. On one hand, I focused on macromolecules: sintering and copolymerization of chiral polymers first and the study of various coupling agents in PP-fly ash system later. On the other hand, currently I am working in the field of powder metallurgy. I started characterizing diamond segments and now I am studying the computer design of highly alloyed high speed steels. This training and experience has led me to have a fairly extensive knowledge of materials science as well as the handling techniques and equipment used for it. I am passionate about science and knowledge in general.
