Professor Sabu Thomas is currently an Emeritus Professor of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. He was the former Vice Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University. He is a Senior Professor of Christ University, Bangalore, India. He is also a visiting Professor at the Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa, Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, and an Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Polymer and Process Engineering, IIT Roorkee, India. He is the Chairman of the TrEST Research Park, Trivandrum, Kerala, India. The H index of Professor Thomas is 163 and he has more than 133,000 citationsProf. Vera V. Myasoedova is a scientist and Chief Research Fellow working at N.N.Semenov Federal Research Center for Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Expert of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation. She is actively investigating in the area of polymer and biopolymer nanocomposite chemistry, and is specialized in physical chemistry of non-aqueous solutions of cellulose derivatives, and structure and thermodynamics of natural and synthetic polymers and their blends. With significant results in the area of nano-polymers and bionanocomposites based on recycled polymers, she is also experienced in fuel nano-composition based on lignocellulosic materials mixed with recycled polymers as low density polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrol, and other synthetic polymers as alternative for RDF fuels and natural gas in cement industry, and has developed filled non-chlorinated polymer compositions basеd on synthetic rubbers and styrene, octene, and other copolymers. Prof. Myasoedova is author of 7 monographs published in Russian and one monograph book published in English, as well as 10 book chapters. She has also been listed in the “Who’s who of science in Russia”. Hanna J. Maria is a Senior Researcher at the School of Energy Materials and the International and Inter University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma Gandhi University, India. Her research focusses on natural rubber composites and their blends, thermoplastic composites, lignin, nanocellulose, bionanocomposites, nanocellulose, rubber-based composites and nanocomposites.
