Polyvinyl Alcohol-Based Biocomposites and Bionanocomposites

Visakh P.M., PhD, has been an assistant professor at TUSUR University, Tomsk, Russia since 2017. He completed his Post doc. research at Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russia (2014-2017). He obtained his PhD from the School of Chemical Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. He has edited 35 books and published more than 25 journal articles, four review articles, and more than 30 book chapters. Olga Nazarenko, PhD, is a professor in the Division for Testing and Diagnostics, School of Non-Destructive Testing, Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russia. Her first degree was in electrical engineering (1985), followed by a PhD in high voltage technique (1996) and DSc in chemical engineering (2007). Her areas of interest include metals and chemical compounds nanopowders—production, their characterization, and application, electrical explosion of wires, polymer composites, and fire-retardant polymers.
