PVWASTECOMP

Res.Dr.Mihaela Cosnita

   Project coordinator, she authored over 10 papers, 7 in ISI journals on advanced materials for environment. She brought her contribution to 10 national and European research projects. She is involved in extensive research activities in the field of materials, recycling, processes and innovative products (according to the European and national thematic areas), in the Reasearch Institut of Transilvania University of Brasov. She has skills in polymers, composite materials, materials characterization: mechanical testing (testing of tensile strength, compressive strength testing and impact), SEM, EDS, AFM, FT-IR, XRD, contact angle measurements.

   In the project her contribution is on developing, characterizing, interface modelling and optimising the novel all waste composite materials with high amount o Si-PV module powder.
