Andrey Viktorovich Basko was awarded his PhD degree in polymer science in 2020. He is a researcher at the G.A. Krestov Institute of Solution Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences. In recent years, he has focused on understanding the mechanism of the structural formation of porous materials from semicrystalline polymer mixtures with low-molecular-weight substances by means of polarized light hot-stage microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry, as well as the construction of phase diagrams for the above mixtures.
