Momčilo Setvanović, retired scientific counselor and full professor, was born on 1935 at Skoplje, Macedonia. He took his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees (field of radiation damage of sintered oxides) at Faculty of Chemical Engineering- Belgrade in 1959 and 1965, respectively. From 1960 to 2004 he worked in the Materials Department in Vinča Institute, starting as research fellow, since 1967 as scientific associate, since 1977 as senior scientific associate and since 1986 as scientific counselor. Besides, he was engaged: as assistant professor (Faculty of Electronic Engineering–Niš; courses General Chemistry and Materials Scince–1969-1973); as associate and full professor (Faculty of Chemical Eengineering-Novi Sad; course Chemical Thermodynamics – 1975-1982) and as full professor (Faculty of Chemical Engineering-Belgrade, courses Heterogeneous Equilibrium and Testing of Composite Materials–1996-2000). He was leader of several research and predevelopment projects (1970-2004). In Vinča Institute he was head of Ceramic Section (1971-1973), head of Materials Department (1974-1975) and Deputy of General Director (1986-1990), member of Institute Scientific Comity and vice president of Institute Director Comity (1994-1998). He is member of SCS and was member of ICCM and ESCM . In the period 1992-2000 he was the member of Scienific Comity od European CTS conferences. In 2005. he was elected the member of Scientific Society of Serbia and in 2007 the corresponding member of Academy of Engineering Sciences of Serbia.

In first half of working period he was engaged in research related to ceramic oxide materials: radiation damage; high temperature mass transport processes and microstructure evolution; thermodynamics of vapor-liquid and vapor-solid equilibrium. In second half of working period he was dedicated to the studies of continuous fibers/polymer matrix composites: introducing of standard tests methods, mechanical behavior of these composites: phenomena and effects in these composites like non linear elasticity; edge and size effects; effects of irradiation, absorbed water and annealing temperatures; delamination strain energy release rate; strength analysis; initiation and propagation of fracture and microfractographic analysis.

M.Stevanović with collaborators pubished 191 papers (2 monographs, 4 university texbooks, 47 papers published in international journals, 12 of them in leading IJ). His papers are cited 121 times. He paticipated in the supervison of 12 master and 8 PhD theses.
