Abbas Tcharkhtchi is professor, exceptional class at “Arts et Métiers ParisTech (ENSAM)”. In 1993, he obtained his PhD degree for researches conducted on Chemiluminescent of polymers during oxidation. After PhD, he continued his research in the field of microstructure-process-properties relationship of polymers and composites”. During this period he had several responsibilities: Head of polymers and Composites group of ENSAM (2006-2018), Head of processing, mechanic and materials department (1998-2006) and member of research council of ENSAM. At present, He is the scientific Manager of the doctoral training of the ENSAM-Campus Paris at the PIMM laboratory and the Naval Academy and the responsible of 60 PhD students. He is the president of technical and scientific commission of Francophone Association of Rotational Molding (AFR). More than 60 companies are the member of this association. He is also the Director of common laboratory between ENSAM and CEA (French Atomic Energy Commissariat) for the development of the fuel cell and the use of hydrogen as energy source for the vehicles. Other responsibilities may be listed as follows: Member of International office of ENSAM, Member of national strategic committee of polymers and composites, elected member of the educational council of ENSAM. He authored around 110 publications and 6 patents; managed more than 50 industrial projects.

Prof.dr.ir. Gustaaf Schoukens is professor of polymer technology at the Ghent University (Belgium), faculty of Engineering. He received his degree in Chemical Engineering from the K.U. Leuven (Belgium) in 1971 where he also obtained his Ph.D. in 1978. The subject of his Ph.D. research was “Non-linear viscoelastic behaviour of dispersions”. He worked as senior researcher from 1978 till 2004 in the private industry (Solvay; Central Research Laboratory) in the field of polymerization and polymer processing. In 1994 he obtained the part-time position of lecturer at the Ghent University, teaching “polymer processing”. In 2004 he obtained the fulltime position of professor at the Ghent University teaching all courses concerning polymer technology, including processing and polymerization processes. He is also involved in the courses concerning “environment and sustainable development” in general and teaching the course of “rational use of materials” in particular. Polymer technology in general and polymer processing, including synthetic and biopolymers, in particular are the main leads in his research program and of its publications. The main research topics are now the development of artificial turf for sport applications and the development of biopolymers based on chitin or chitosan with biomedical properties. A more recent research is the study of nanostructures, especially nanoparticles obtained by reaction engineering. These nanoparticles are already used in large quantities for the coating of paper and paperboards. I am an expert in the production of monofilaments for artificial sport applications and founded ERCAT (European Research Centre for Artificial Turf).
