Polymeric Nanocomposites with Carbonaceous Nanofillers for Aerospace Applications

Prof. Dr. Ayesha Kausar is affiliated with the National Centre for Physics, Islamabad, Pakistan. Her current research interests include the design, fabrication, characterization, and exploration of structure-property relationships and potential applications of nanocomposites, polymeric composites/nanocomposites, nanoparticles/polymeric nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanocarbons (such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, fullerenes), inorganic/hybrid materials, nanofibers, and nano-foam architectures. Dr. Kausar has made extensive contributions to the fields of nanomaterials and materials science, with numerous scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals. She has authored multiple monographs on topics ranging from carbon nano-onions and graphene quantum dots to polymer-based nanocomposites and conducting polymer nanocomposites. Additionally, she has contributed chapters to a large number of international books and encyclopedias. Her work has been recognized in recent years by inclusion in the world’s top 2% of scientists in materials science and nanotechnology, according to surveys conducted by Stanford University.
