Dr. Felipe Avalos Belmontes obtained his M.Sc. in Polymer Science and Technology from the Autonomous University of Coahuila (1986) and his Ph.D. in the Complutense University of Madrid with honors "Cum Laude" (1990). He is a founding member of the Mexican Polymer Society (1986). Moreover, Dr. Avalos is the founder of the first PhD program in Mexico in Polymers Science and Technology (1994) and later the founder of the program in Materials Science and Technology (2003). He has received several awards and recognitions for his academic and research work from different institutions; and he has been a technology consultant in the processing and transformation of polymers for several companies. He is currently working as a Research Professor and lead the postgraduate Ph.D. program in Materials Sciences at the Faculty of Chemical Sciences at  Autonomous University of Coahuila.

Dr. Francisco J. González has been working as Research Professor at the Faculty of Chemical Sciences at Autonomous University of Coahuila in Mexico since 2020. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering at UASLP-Mexico. He received his M.Sc. in Nanosciences and Materials at IPICYT-Mexico and his M.Sc. in Plastics and Rubbers at UIMP-Spain. His Ph.D. studies were done at the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology (ICTP-CSIC) in Madrid-Spain (2019), where he graduated with honors (Cum Laude). He is an active member of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry and belongs to the National Researchers System in Mexico. His research interest includes the preparation of conducting polymers composite materials, nanomaterials, and processing of biodegradable polymers for electronics and energy applications.

Prof. Miguel A. López-Manchado holds a PhD in Chemistry from University Complutense of Madrid in 1997 under the supervision of Prof. Miguel Arroyo from 1998-2001; he held a postdoctoral contract at University of Perugia in the group of Prof. Jose M. Kenny and a Ramon y Cajal
