New Frontiers in Sciences, Engineering and the Arts

About the Book

Volume III titled The Chemistry of Initiation of Ringed, Ring-Forming and Polymeric Monomers/Compounds completes the initiation of compounds for chemical and homopolymeric reactions (section D). The volume is a section that contains six chapters and is indeed a continuation of Volume II. However, in view of the size of this volume (section D), it has been divided into two books: Volume III-A and Volume III-B. Volume III-B, which contains part II and part III, is a continuation of Volume III-A, which is part I.

About the Author

Sunny N. E. Omorodion has been a teacher mostly all his life. He started his teaching career at the age of nineteen in a High school teaching students many of whom were older than him. After graduating from the University of Ibadan with a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry at the age of twenty three, he left for Canada after teaching in two High schools again, to acquire another bachelor (B Eng.) in Chemical Engineering at the University of Alberta, since his dream career was Chemical Engineering since he was a child. In the same university, he acquired two Bachelors in one year in Mathematics and Physics, since when a student at Ibadan he only needed one year and two years to complete degrees in Mathematics and Physics respectively. It was the civil war in the country that made him to study Chemistry at a time when Chemical Engineering did not exist as a discipline in any of the Nigerian Universities, something which can be said to be a blessing in a different way, since in the process he was fully exposed to Mathematics and Physics at the tertiary level, while graduating with only Chemistry. During the acquisition of four Bachelor degrees, he left for McMaster University in Ontario, Canada to acquire M Eng. and Ph. D degrees in an area which is a hybrid of Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Chemical Engineering-Polymer Engineering. He then worked in an industry (Polysar-Sania, Ontario, Canada) for about two years, before coming back to his teaching career at the University of Benin. After about twenty years of service as teacher/consultant, he left on sabbatical leave and leave of absence to teach at three universities- University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and University of Toledo, Ohio, USA. Introduction of three new courses at post-graduate level along with the teaching of other courses in Canada and USA made him one of the best professors in all the universities. Presently, he is now back to University of Benin to complete the cycle of one of the stages of life. Sunny’s research interests include Chemical and Polymer reaction Engineering very different from what exists in Present-day Science and Engineering, Environmental Science and Engineering with respect to Pollution Prevention, Waste Management, Enzymatic Chemistry and Engineering, Energy Sources and Conservation, Unit Separations and Process Control of Industrial Systems. Based on “The New Science”, some research works which were thought not to be possible, have been made possible, such as oxidation of propane to propanol, polymerization of some monomers, which could not previously be polymerized to give useful products and so on. These are works which cannot be published without introducing “The New Science” in “The New Frontiers” universally. Sunny is a member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers since 1972, Canadian Society of Chemical Engineers since 1974, Chemical Society of Canada since 1972, American Chemical Society since 2002, American Association for the Advancement of Science since 1996, African Academy of Science since 1990, Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers since 1988, Polymer Institute of Nigeria since 1990, The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan, since 2002. Because he has been so involved in writing, spending at least fourteen hours everyday since Jan 1st 1992, he has not been an active member of these bodies and even rejected serving the State Gov. as Commissioner and other appointments. Sunny is a Fellow of some Professional bodies such as Institute of Industrial Administration since 2008, American and Cambridge Biographical centers and Professional bodies since 1997, and Strategic Institute for Natural Resources and Human Development since 2012. Sunny has won more than twenty International awards with respect to Who is Who from ABI, IBC, The Marquis and more. We are TENANTS not only in this WORLD, but also in our PHYSICAL BODY, for there is no DEATH of the BEING, BUT THE DEATH of the PHYSICAL BODY. The Author
