Dr. Mohammad Arjmand is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Calgary. His major focus of study is the whole hierarchy of developing advanced conductive polymeric nanocomposites. This includes nanomaterials (carbon nanotube and metallic nanowire) synthesis and characterization, blending polymer and synthesized nanofillers, and electrical, thermal and rheological characterization of the generated nanocomposites. He also researches on clay/polyethylene nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical and barrier properties. Dr. Arjmand is honored with several institutional, national and international awards during his academic career. He has disseminated over 40 journal and conference papers.
