Dr. Vikas Mittal studied chemical engineering from Punjab Technical University in Punjab, India. He later obtained his Masters of Technology in polymer science and engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India. Subsequently, he joined the Polymer Chemistry group of Professor U. W. Suter at the Department of Materials at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich in Switzerland. There he there worked for his doctoral degree with focus on the subjects of surface chemistry and polymer nanocomposites. He also jointly worked with Professor M. Morbidelli at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences for the synthesis of functional polymer latex particles with thermally reversible behaviors.

Polymethylsiloxane (PMS) materials with ID (PDMS) or 2D/3D (PMS) siloxane backbone have drawn considerable fundamental and technological interest because of their applications as components of nanocomposites, copolymers for synthesis of ion conducting polymeric materials, chromatographic adsorbent, a component of medicinal preparations (e.g., Cleocin, Universal Washaid, United States), implants, adjuvant Capsil (Aquatrols, USA Scotts, USA), a vaccine adjuvant, etc. Additionally, PMS in the form of hydrogel (CpMs 10 wt%) is utilized as a medicinal enterosorbent Enterosgel (Kreoma-Pharm, Ukraine). Functionalized PMSs are used for modification and functionalization of solid surfaces. They are also used as supports for catalysts, or as polymer backbones for preparation of liquid crystalline polymers.

Graeme Moad was bom in Orange, NSW, Australia. He obtained his BSc (Hons, First Class) and PhD from the Adelaide University in the field of organic free radical chemistry. After undertaking postdoctoral research at Pennsylvania State University in the field of biological oi anic chemistry he joined CSIRO in 1979 where he is currently a chief research scientist and a research group leader. He is also a project leader within the Cooperative Research Centre for Polymere. Dr. Moad is author or co-author of over 150 publications, co-inventor of 33 patent families (9 relate to the RAFT process), and co-author of the book The Chemistry of Radical Polymerization. More than 11500 papers dte his work and his h-indexis 51. His research interests lie in the fields of polymer design and synthesis (radical polymerization, reactive extmsion, polymer nanocomposites) and polymerization kinetics and mechanism. Dr. Moad is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and has recently been elected as a titular member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. 

Durairaj Baskaran performed doctoral studies at the National Chemical Laboratory, India, and University of Mainz Germany, working jointly with Dr. S. Sivaram and Prof. Axel H. E. Muller. After his PhD (University of Pune, India, 1996), he worked as a senior scientist at the National Chemical Laboratory for several years before joining the University of Tetmessee. His research interests are in the areas of living anionic polymerization and controlled radical polymerization focusing on synthesis and characterization of architecturally controlled polymers, functionalization of carbon nanotubes, nanocomposites, and polymers for energy applications. He has published over 70 research articles and several patents and also coedit i a book.
