Prof. Yu-Zhong Wang earned his Ph.D. degree at Sichuan University in 1994, where he was promoted to a full Professor in 1995. He is the Director of the National Engineering Laboratory for Eco-Friendly Polymeric Materials (Sichuan), which was founded by him. His research interests are focused on bio-based and biodegradable polymers, flame-retardant and functional polymeric materials. He has authored more than 430 publications in SCI journals and issued over 100 patents. He has been awarded eleven National and Provincial Science & Technology awards. He was selected as an Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2015.
Prof. Yun-Xuan Weng received his Ph.D. degree in Polymer Chemistry and Physics in 2010 from Sichuan University. He formulated and established Chinese national standards for methods of evaluation of biodegradability for biodegradable materials by monitoring their trace of life of organic carbon, and for various evaluation systems including aerobic composting, soil, aqueous medium, anaerobic aqueous medium and high-solid content condition. Moreover, he established the determination method of bio-based material content by using C14 isotope. He acts as the secretary-general of the Degradable Plastic Committee of CPPIA of China, and also as the secretary-general of the Technology Committee of Standardization of Bio-based and Degradable Materials.
