Kottayam, and married to Dr. Anne George. They have two children.
He joined School of Chemical Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University,
Kottayam, Kerala, India in 1987 and at present he is the professor
of Polymer Science & Engineering. His research interests
cover a wide range of topics, which include polymer blends,
particulate filled polymer composites, fibre reinforced composites,
|
 |
| nanocomposites, transport properties
of membrane systems, interpenetrating polymer systems, double
net works in elastomers and recyclability and reuse of waste
plastics and rubbers. |
| Prof. Thomas undertook a post-doctoral
assignment at Macromolecular Science Engineering Research Center,
Laval University, Quebec, Canada in 1991. He also was a visiting
Professor at the laboratory of Macromoleculecular Structural
Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Catholic University, Leuven,
Belgium from 1996 to 2004. Prof. Thomas has several collaborative
research programmes with leading institutes and companies in
the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America. He is also
a reviewer of a number of international journals like Journal
of American Chemical Society, Macromolecules, Polymer, Polymer
Engineering & Science, Journal of Applied Polymer Science
and Composite Science & Technology. He had been to the universities
in Europe, USA, Asia and South America as plenary and invited
speaker. Prof. Thomas is a member of several professional organisations.
He is also a fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry. |
| Prof. Thomas has published more than
250 research papers in international refereed journals. Further,
he contributed a number of book chapters and edited a book on
phase morphology of polymer blends. So far he has supervised
30 Ph.D programmes and 18 M. Phil programmes. Prof. Thomas’
group bagged more than 25 awards and prizes for the research
excellence in Polymer Science & Engineering from leading
national and international research organizations. |
| At present he is supervising more
