Biography
Naser Esmaeili is a PhD student in the field of bio-based materials and polymer chemistry. His master thesis was about 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) synthesis from fructose and preparation of urea-HMF thermoset resin as a green replacement for UF resin. Now, as a PhD student, he is focusing on bio-based thermoset polymers derived from natural polyphenolic materials such as tannins. He has done some deep evaluation of the synthesized polymers as thermal insulating material, intumescent, wastewater remediation etc.
