About

Dr Chaoying Wan is an Associate Professor in multifunctional nanocomposites. She specialises in polymer synthesis and characterisation of multiphase/multicomponent nanocomposites exploitation of multifunctionality for energy storage applications. She has expertise in developing reactive processing of thermoplastic- thermoset- and elastomer-based blends/alloys and nanocomposites through in situ polymerisation and reactive extrusion. Dr Wan has edited or authored nine books published by Springer Elsevier and Wiley-VCH since 2015. Xingyi Huang is a professor at Research Center of Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Huangs research focuses on novel high-k polymers and polymer nanocomposites for electrical insulation energy storage and thermal management applications. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2008 had a postdoctoral experience of Chemistry in Shanghai Jiao Tong University and was a visiting scholar in Waseda University Japan. Huang is senior member of IEEE and serves as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation since 2018 and serves as Associate Editor of High voltage since 2017. Since 2019 he serves as editorial board member of IEEE TDEI and Composites Science and Technology. Chris Bowen is Professor of Materials Science at the University of Bath.
