Ramón Díaz received his Ph.D. from the Applied Chemical Research Center in Saltillo, Mexico in 2003. He did postdoctoral research at INTEC in Argentina from 2005 to 2006. His research interests lie in Polymer Synthesis via Coordination Polymerization, working with several kinds of catalysts based on zirconium and titanium to polymerize olefins, but mainly neodymium to polymerize 1,3-dienes such as butadiene, and recently bio-based alternatives such as myrcene and farnesene. In addition, he has worked in several projects, both academic and industrial, in the synthesis, modification, and improvement of styrenic resins HIPS and ABS, evaluating different kinds of rubbers such as SBR, polybutadienes, and high cis-polybutadienes, using batch and continuous processes. Since 2007 to date, he has been working in the Applied Chemical Research Center in Saltillo, Mexico in the Department of Polymerization Processes.
