Materials Science and Chemistry

Alinda Öykü Akar is a Researcher in an industry, who focuses on different studies while collaborating with universities. She works on new formulations of polyurethane elastomer, in response to need of industry while providing unique solutions for process troubleshooting and application related issues. She works on projects for reinforcement of thermoplastics and optimization studies for produced composites in accordance to material characterizations. Her researches on polymeric composites aim to sustain systematic investigation on mechanical, physical, thermal and morphological properties of composite materials. Her academic studies are concerned with biodegradable and biocompatible polymer composites. She is pursuing her PhD in process optimization studies of polyurethane elastomer through DOE and modeling studies while conducting material characterization techniques for investigation of produced material to figure out effect of different process parameters for optimization study.
