5.7: Recent Developments in Green PHA Composites |
|
Sabu Thomas is vice chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU), Kottayam, Kerala, India. He is a highly committed teacher and a remarkably active researcher, and an outstanding leader with sustained international acclaims for his work in nanoscience, polymer science and engineering, green nanotechnology, and related fields. Prof. Thomas' research group invented new high-performance barrier rubber nanocomposite membranes for inner tubes and inner liners for tyres in collaboration with India's premier tyre company, Apollo Tyres. Abitha V. K. is a senior research associate at the International and Inter University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, MGU. She completed her PhD from the School of Chemical Sciences, MGU. She has written several book chapters in addition to editing three books. Her research interests include polymer blends, filler partitioning in rubber blends, fiber-filled polymer composites, particulate-filled polymer composites, and their morphological and structural characterizations. Hanna J Maria is a UGC STRIDE fellow and senior researcher at the School of Energy Materials of MGU. She completed her PhD in 2015 from MGU and carried out her postdoctoral work at the Centre for Advanced Materials, Qatar University, Doha-Qatar. She was also a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yamaguchi University, Tokiwadai, Japan, in a project with TOCLAS Corporation, Japan. She also got the Dr D. S. Kothari postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. Sabu Thomas |
