Ms. Fatemeh Allahyari’s research focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of polymer-based nanocomposites and functional materials with emphasis on medicinal chemistry, catalyst development, and industrially relevant resins. Her experimental program covers metal–organic framework incorporation into poly(ether-imide) networks, surface modification of inorganic nanoparticles for reinforced polymer matrices, and development of magnetically recoverable catalytic systems exemplified by zinc-polyurea-formaldehyde immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles. She investigates processing-structure-property relationships in additively manufactured polymers, optimizing FDM/FFF parameters to enhance tensile strength and impact resistance of PLA and PLA/carbon nanotube composites, and formulates empirical and optimization models for GFRP mechanical and electromagnetic performance. Her materials engineering contributions include sintering optimization for W-Cu nano-composites to improve compression strength, impact resistance, hardness, and corrosion behavior, alongside studies on aluminum-copper hybrid joints produced by friction stir welding and brazing aimed at combined mechanical and electrical performance. She integrates computational and experimental approaches in studies predicting additive effects (for example β-cyclodextrin ester additives in PVC) and pursues safer polymer formulations through functional nanoparticle additives. Peer-reviewed outputs include journals such as Journal of Molecular Structure, Research on Chemical Intermediates, Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics, Polymer Engineering & Science, and Polymer Bulletin. Scopus metrics summarizing her research footprint: 55 citations; Documents indexed: 8; h-index: 4. She actively pursues collaborative projects with industry partners to scale formulations, improve material safety, and incorporate sustainable feedstocks, thereby advancing translational research and enabling rapid deployment of improved polymer technologies and inclusive mentorship.
