Dr. Ibrahim Sendijarevic holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and a B.S.E. degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of Michigan, Ann-Arbor.   He has co-authored 17 papers in the field of polymers and 3 US patents.

He received two the best presentation awards from the Alliance for the Polyurethanes Industry, now Center for the Polyurethanes Industry.  He is also a reviewer for Journal of American Chemical Science (JACS).

His research interest includes structure-property relationships of highly branched dendritic polymers and the effects of the degree of branching and end-groups functionality on the inter-molecular and intra-molecular interactions of dendritic molecules.  He also has experience in determining the properties of dendritic molecules in blends with linear polymers and in developing applications for dendritic materials as processing additives and surface modifiers.  As an associate engineer at Merck & Co. he worked on the scale-up of organic chemistry processes for production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.  In this effort he worked on the scale-up efforts of dozens of chemical compounds and amongst other achievements was responsible for the development of a novel impurity rejection method and the development of a novel crystallization process.  At Troy Polymers Inc., he works on the commercialization of the in-house technologies and on the development of TPI’s scale-up and processing capabilities.
