Sabu Thomas is a Professor of Polymer Science and
Engineering at the School of Chemical Sciences, as well as the
Director of Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma
Gandhi University, India. He received his PhD in 1987 in Polymer
Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT),
Kharagpur, India. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry,
London and a member of the American Chemical Society. He has
been¿ranked no 5 in India with regard to the number of
publications (most productive scientists). He also received the
coveted Sukumar Maithy Award for the best polymer researcher in the
country for the year 2008. The research group of Prof. Thomas has
received numerous awards and honors for excellent work in polymer
science and engineering.

Visakh, P.M is a Research Fellow at the School of
Chemical Science Mahatma Gandhi University. He has co-edited
several books with Sabu Thomas and has written many journal
articles and book chapters. His research interests include polymer
nanocomposites, bio-nanocomposites, liquid crystalline polymers,
rubber based nanocomposites, and fire retardant polymers.
