Cellulose-Based Hydrogels

Dr. Kalim Deshmukh is a Senior Researcher at the New Technologies-Research Centre, University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, Czech Republic. He has over 15 years of research experience in the field of synthesis, characterization and structure-property relationships in a wide variety of polymeric materials, polymer blends and nanocomposites for 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 and its derivatives for potential electronic applications. Dr. Shaswat Barua did his B.Sc. from Dibrugarh University, Assam, India. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Tezpur University, Assam, India. He has received the Prestigious CSIR Nehru Fellowship and the Commonwealth Rutherford Postdoctoral Fellowship. Presently, Dr. Barua is working as an Assistant Manager (Quality Control) in the Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Bongaigaon Refinery, India. His research interests include synthesis and characterization of multifunctional polymers, biopolymers and biomimetic macromolecules for therapeutic applications, synthesis of peptide and self-assembly hydrogels, synthesis and characterization of biologically important nanomaterials, high performing nanocomposites, in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility assessment of biomaterials, advanced biosensors, and new generation biofuels. Dr. Swagata Baruah earned her bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Gauhati University, India, and completed her master’s from Tezpur University, India. In 2019 she obtained her Ph.D. from CSIR-NEIST, India, in Organic Chemistry. Presently, Dr. Baruah is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Morigaon College, Assam, India. She has published several research papers and book chapters in International Journals/Books of high repute. Her research interests include novel materials and their therapeutic applications. Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain is an Adjunct Professor and Director of laboratories in the Department of Chemistry & Environmental Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), United States. His research is focused on the applications of nanotechnology and advanced materials, environmental management, analytical chemistry, and other various industries. Dr. Hussain is the author of numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals as well as a prolific author and editor of around 150 books, including scientific monographs and handbooks in his research areas.
