ABOUT THE EDITOR Eli M. Pearce, PhD Dr. Eli M. Pearce was the President of the American Chemical Society. He served as Dean of the Faculty of Science and Art at Brooklyn Polytechnic University in New York, as well as a Professor of Chemistry and Chemi- cal Engineering. He was the Director of the Polymer Research Institute, also in Brooklyn. At present, he consults for the Polymer Research Institute. As a prolific author and researcher, he edited the Journal of Polymer Science (Chemistry Edition) for 25 years and was an active member of many profes- sional organizations. Bob A. Howell, PhD Bob A. Howell, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Cen- tral Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. He received his PhD in physical organic chemistry from Ohio University in 1971. His research interests include flame-retardants for polymeric materials, new polymeric fu- el-cell membranes, polymerization techniques, thermal methods of analysis, polymer-supported organoplatinum antitumor agents, barrier plastic packag- ing, bioplastics, and polymers from renewable sources. Richard A. Pethrick, PhD, DSc Professor R. A. Pethrick, PhD, DSc, is currently a Research Professor and Professor Emeritus in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde, Glasglow, Scotland. He was Burmah Professor in Physical Chemistry and has been a member of the staff there since 1969. He has published over 400 papers and edited and written several books. Recently, he has edited several publications concerned with the techniques for the char- acterization of the molar mass of polymers and also the study of their mor- phology. He currently holds a number of EPSRC grants and is involved with Knowledge Transfer Programmes involving three local companies involved in production of articles made out of polymeric materials. His current research involves AWE and has acted as a consultant for BAE Systems in the area of explosives and a company involved in the production of anticorrosive coat- ings. © 2015 by Apple Academic Press, Inc. vi About the Editors Dr. Pethrick is on the editorial boards of several polymer and adhesion journals and was on the Royal Society of Chemistry Education Board. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Institute of Materials, Metal and Mining. Previously, he chaired the ‘Review of Science Provision 16-19’ in Scotland and the restructuring of the HND provision in chemistry. He was also involved in the creation of the re- vised regulations for accreditation by the Royal Society of Chemistry of the MSc level qualifications in chemistry. For a many years, he was the Deputy Chair of the EPSRC IGDS panel and involved in a number of reviews of the courses developed and offered under this program. He has been a member of the review panel for polymer science in Denmark and Sweden and the Na- tional Science Foundation in the USA. Gennady E. Zaikov, DSc Gennady E.
