In 2000/ 2001 she worked with a grant of the Max-Kade Foundation, New York at the University of Texas at Austin (USA) with DR Paul on multiphase blends. Her main research interests are multicomponent polymer based materials, including immiscible polymer blends, thermoplastic polyurethanes and carbon nanoparticle filled polymer composites. She has published more than 200 papers journals and edited in 2011 with Tony McNally a book on Polymer-carbon nanotube composites.
