Ilija DIMITRIEVSKI

Dr. Ilija Dimitrievski studied at the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His professional career started in 1969 at the Sava Rubber Factory in Kranj as a development engineer, where he continued as a researcher and later became director of the R&D Institute. He has worked on the development of PVC and PU synthetic leather, PVC plastisols, the synthesis of polyurethane water dispersions. His research involved studies of mixtures of elastomers with thermoplastic polyurethane, the dynamical vulcanization of thermoplastic elastomers, polymer layers for the anti-corrosive and anti-abrasive protection of processing equipment in the chemical industry, the research of the rheology of elastomers and polymeric mixtures, nanomaterials and nanotechnology in elastomers. He has presented his work at a number of scientific conferences, including Rub. Int. Conf., Paris 1990; 3rd AIM Conf. on Adv. Top. in Pol. Sci., Gargnano 1992, Italy; 5th Eur. Pol. Fed. Symp. on Pol. Mat., Baden-Baden, 1992. EPF 92; Int. Conf. on Adv. Pol. Mat., Dresden, 1993; 5th Eur. Pol. Fed. Symp. on Pol. Mat., Basel, 1994; 1st Int. Conf. on Mech. of Time Dep. Mat., Ljubljana, 1995.
