## **Ioannis Kartsonakis**

Ioannis Kartsonakis is a Chemist with a PhD in Chemistry and a MSc in Polymer science. His PhD subject was on electrochemical deposition of multifunctional conductive polymers for corrosion protection of metals (doi: 10.12681/eadd/25933), using sol-gel technique, electro-polymerization and radical polymerization. His work is focused on: Management of R&D projects; Implementation of research and development tasks in the field of corrosion and corrosion protection; Studies on physicochemical properties of nanomaterials; Synthesis and characterization of hybrid inorganic/ organic nanomaterials, coatings, fibers, cement/ polymer composites. He has experience in many European and National projects related to: Recycling of textile and plastic materials; Concrete Reinforcement; Self-healing, Antifouling, Anticorrosion, coatings and materials.
