Mónica Loureiro did her PhD in Materials Engineering on the topic “Isocyanate microcapsules as new cross-linkers for safer and high performance adhesives”. Her main scientific research area is synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials. Throughout her career she developed polymeric microcapsules with several compositions, to act as storage vesicles, self-healing materials or crosslinkers for polymeric materials (adhesives, PU foams, paints and anti-corrosion films). In the last three years of research, she focused on the development of biodegradable polymeric microcapsules, of several compositions, as well as on the synthesis of new bio-based and biodegradable polyesters. Her main contributions include 21 scientific articles, 2 patents, and several communications in scientific conferences.
