Amir Khaki (A.)

Amir joined the Circular Plastics Group at the Circular Chemical Engineering department (CCE) of Maastricht University (UM) as a Ph.D. candidate in November 2021. His main research focus is on the Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance (ESCR) in Recycled High-Density Polyethylene. As an acute problem for HDPE and a real challenge to recycling, environmental stress cracking causes failure without any visible warning due to the slow crack growth accelerated by aggressive agents. His aim in this project is to focus on and apply the knowledge of structure-property-processing relationships in recycled HDPEs to improve their mechanical recyclability.

Expertise

  • Polymer Processing
  • Polymer Rheology
  • Polymer Crystallization
  • Polymer Nanocomposites

Professional career history

Amir has obtained his BSc and MSc in "Polymer Engineering" from AUT (Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran Polytechnic, Iran), wherein his academic curriculum focused on Polymer Processing and Polymer Nanocomposites. During his master's research, he worked on the effect of crystallinity on the barrier properties of Poly Lactide/Graphene Oxide nanocomposites. Also, his bachelor's thesis was about the mechanical and rheological properties of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)/Silica Nanocomposites.
