Christos Pantazidis

Christos Pantazidis is a postdoctoral researcher in the Polymer Performance Materials (SPM) group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. He conducts advanced research on sustainable, high-performance organic aerogels and recyclable polymer systems, contributing to circular materials economy and environmental sustainability.

• Bachelor in Chemistry, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2009–2015)
• Master in Macromolecular Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2015–2017)
• PhD in Macromolecular Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2018–2022)

His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of advanced polymeric materials, particularly closed-loop recyclable aerogels derived from waste plastics such as PET and polycarbonate. He investigates the relationship between chemical structure and material properties, utilizing controlled polymerization techniques like NMP and RAFT. His work includes solid polymer electrolytes for batteries and novel aerogels with superior thermal and mechanical performance.

Recent publications highlight a strong trend in chemical recycling of thermosets, upcycled aerogels, and sustainable polymer design. His articles span topics in polymer chemistry, materials science, and green engineering, with a focus on circularity, dynamic covalent chemistry, and functional materials for insulation and energy applications.

Although no formal scientific awards are listed, his impactful research in sustainable polymers is evident through frequent publications in high-impact journals such as ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Small, and Advanced Sustainable Systems.
