Susheel Kalia is Assistant Professor in the Department of
Chemistry, Bahra University (Shimla Hills), India. He received his
PhD from Punjab Technical University Jalandhar, India. He has 33
research papers to his credit in international journals along with
45 publications in proceedings of national & international
conferences as well as several book chapters. He is a life member
of the Asian Polymer Association and Indian Cryogenics Council. He
has edited the book, Cellulose Fibers, Bio- and Nano-
Polymer Composites (Springer 2011). He is currently working in
the field of polymer composites, cellulose nanofibers, hydrogels
and cryogenics.

Luc Avérous is Director of the Laboratory of
Engineering Polymers for Advanced Technologies at the University of
Strasbourg, France. He obtained his PhD in science and polymer
engineering from the School of Mines of Paris in 1995. For the last
15 years his major research projects have dealt with multiphase
systems (blends, multilayers, biocomposites and nano-biocomposites)
based on agro-resources (starch, lignins, chitosan, cellulose etc.)
and biopolyesters (PLA, PHA, PCL etc.). He has been particularly
involved in the study of the materials-process-properties chain. He
has published more than 60 journal articles, 15 book chapters, has
2 patents to his name, and has co-edited 3 books. With his
expertise in starch-based materials, and more generally in
biopolymers, he is regularly invited to organise symposia and
conferences.
