Poly(vinyl chloride), better known by its abbreviation PVC, is one of the most versatile plastics. It is the second largest manufactured resin by volume worldwide; currently, its production per annum exceeds 31 million tons. research and industrial applications, with respect to polymerization, stabilization, bulk property modification, and chemical and material recycling of PVC waste. The low cost and the good performance of poly(vinyl chloride) products have increased the utilization of this polymer in building, mainly in exterior application, such as window profiles, cladding structure and...

I obtained my master degree of Science in Zoology with general specialisation in Cell Biology and Histology and particularly in developmental-biology and -physiology field in 2005. I mainly worked on developing rat brain and spinal cord during pre- and post-natal periods. I subsequently obtained my PhD degree in zoology with general specialisation in Embryology and Comparative Anatomy and particularly in developmental-neuroendocrinology and -physiology field in 2009. I studied the interactions between the different states of thyroid hormones and rat brain development during the perinatal...
