Polymer Systems: From Synthesis to Applications, published by Apple
Academic Press. In 2010, Mr. Joy received a prestigious research
fellowship administered jointly by the Council of Scientific and
Industrial Research and the University Grants Commission of the
Government of India. He has publications in international journals
and conference proceedings to his credit. He is a co-author of
several books chapters, peer-reviewed publications, and invited
presentations in international forums. He received his MSc degree
in Chemistry from Mahatma Gandhi University.
Maciej Jaroszewski, PhD, is an Assistant Professor and Head of the
High Voltage Laboratory at Wroclaw University of Technology in
Wroclaw, Poland. He received his MS and PhD degrees in high voltage
engineering from the same university in 1993 and 1999 respectively.
Dr. Jaroszewski was a contractor/prime contractor of several grants
and a head of grant project on "degradation processes and diagnosis
methods for high voltage ZnO arresters for distribution systems"
and is currently a contractor of a key project co-financed by the
foundations of the European Regional Development Foundation within
the framework of the Operational Programme Innovative Economy. His
current research interests include high-voltage techniques, HV
equipment diagnostics, HV test techniques, degradation of ZnO
varistors, and dielectric spectroscopy.
Praveen K. M. is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Applied Surface Science and has also presented poster and
conference papers at national and international conferences. He has
also worked with the Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia;
Mahatma Gandhi University, India; and the Technical University in
Liberec, Czech Republic. His current research interests include
plasma modification of polymers, polymer composites for neutron
shielding applications, and nanocellulose.
Sabu Thomas, PhD, is the Pro-Vice Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi
University and Founding Director of the International and Inter
University Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma
Gandhi University, India. He is also a full professor of polymer
science and engineering at the School of Chemical Sciences of the
same university. The research activities of Professor Thomas
include surfaces and interfaces in multiphase polymer blend and
composite systems; phase separation in polymer blends;
compatibilization of immiscible polymer blends; thermoplastic
elastomers; phase transitions in polymers; nanostructured polymer
blends; macro-, micro- and nanocomposites; polymer rheology;
recycling; reactive extrusion; processing–morphology–property
relationships in multiphase polymer systems; double networking of
elastomers; natural fibers and green composites; rubber
vulcanization; interpenetrating polymer networks; diffusion and
transport; and polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering. He has
supervised 68 PhD theses, 40 MPhil theses, and 45 Masters thesis.
He has three patents to his credit. He also received the coveted
Sukumar Maithy Award for the best polymer researcher in the country
for the year 2008. Very recently, Professor Thomas received the
MRSI and CRSI medals for his excellent work. A proflic author with
an H index of 81, he has published over 750 peer-reviewed research
papers, reviews, and book chapters.
Reza Haghi, PhD, is a research assistant at the Institute of
Petroleum Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh,
Scotland, United Kingdom. Dr. Haghi has published several papers in
international peer-reviewed scientific journals and has published
several papers in conference proceedings, technical reports, and
lecture notes. Dr. Haghi is an expert in the development and
application of spectroscopy techniques for monitoring hydrate and
corrosion risks and developed techniques for early detection of gas
hydrate risks. He conducted integrated experimental modeling in his
studies and extended his research to monitoring system to pH and
risk of corrosion. During his PhD work at Heriot-Watt University,
he has developed various novel flow assurance techniques based on
spectroscopy as well as designed and operated test equipment. He
received his MSc in Advanced Control Systems from the University of
Salford, Manchester, England, United Kingdom.
