Dr. Kalim Deshmukh is presently working as a senior researcher at the New Technologies-Research Centre, University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, Czech Republic. He has over 17 years of research experience in the field of synthesis, characterizations, and investigations of structure-property relationship of a wide variety of polymeric materials, polymer blends and nanocomposites for 2 various technological applications. His research interest is mainly focused on the synthesis, characterization and property investigations of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with different nanofillers including nanoparticles and carbon allotropes such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide, graphene nanoplatelets and graphene quantum dots for potential electronic applications. He has over 95 research publications in peer-reviewed journals and 30 book chapters (h-index = 35; >4494 citations, google scholar) with renowned international publications including the Royal Society of Chemistry, Elsevier, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. In addition, he has co-edited two books entitled ?3D and 4D Printing of Polymer Nanocomposite Materials: Processes, Applications and Challenges? and ?MXene and their Composites: Synthesis, Properties and Potential Applications? for Elsevier and one book entitled ?Nanotechnology Based Additive Manufacturing: Product Design, Properties and Applications? for Wiley-VCH. Moreover, he has actively participated and presented his research work in several international conferences and also, he has been serving as a reviewer for over 60 reputed international journals.
Dr. Jyotishkumar Parameswaranpillai is currently an Associate Professor at Alliance University, Bangalore. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry (Polymer Science and Technology) from Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, India in the year 2012. He has research experience in various international laboratories such as Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF), Germany, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, University of Potsdam, Germany, and King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB), Thailand. He has published around 130 papers in high-quality international peer-reviewed journals on polymer nanocomposites, polymer blends and alloys, and biopolymers. Also, he has published around 70 book chapters and has edited 25 books. He is a frequent invited and keynote speaker, and a reviewer for more than 70 international journals, book proposals, and international conferences. He received numerous awards and recognitions including the prestigious INSPIRE Faculty Award 2011, Kerala State Award for the Best Young Scientist 2016, and Best Researcher Award 2019 from King Mongkut?s University of Technology North Bangkok. He is named in the world?s Top 2% of the most-cited scientists in Single Year Citation Impact 2020, by Stanford University. His research interests include polymer coatings, shape memory polymers, antimicrobial polymer films, green composites, nanostructured materials, water purification, polymer blends, and high-performance composites
