Dr. Liraz Larush

I am a researcher, mainly working in research fields such as nano and microemulsions, micrencapsulation, characterization of colloidal dispersions, drug delivery systems and coatings.
as well as surface characterization of polymeric materials.. My PhD from Bar Ilan university was in electrochemistry, on "Thermal Analysis of Components of Rechargeable Batteries Based on Active Metals (Li, Mg)". My MSc from Bar Ilan university was on "Thermal stability of Li-ion batteries components: Solvents, Salt, Solutions and electrodes." and I received my BSc. in chemistry from Bar Ilan university.
