Research

Welcome to our esteemed research group, where we embark on an exciting scientific journey focusing on the captivating realms of biopolymers, bioepoxy, lignin, epoxy, different types of rubber, and vitrimers. With a deep commitment to pushing the boundaries of material science, we explore a diverse array of applications across industries such as aerospace, coatings, textile, automotive, drug delivery, water purification, wound healing, and sensing. At the heart of our research lies the exploration of biopolymers, where we delve into the realm of sustainable and biodegradable materials. By harnessing the power of nature, we aim to develop advanced materials and formulations that address the growing demand for environmentally friendly alternatives. From investigating the synthesis of biopolymer-based composites to understanding their mechanical and chemical properties, we strive to create materials that combine performance with eco-consciousness.

In the pursuit of innovation, our group delves into the realm of bioepoxy and lignin-based materials. By leveraging renewable resources, we aim to develop bioepoxy resins and lignin derivatives with enhanced performance characteristics. Our research spans multiple dimensions, including the exploration of novel processing techniques, the investigation of structure-property relationships, and the development of tailored bioepoxy formulations for aerospace applications, coatings technology, and textile manufacturing. Within the realm of epoxy, our group’s expertise lies in the development of high-performance resins that excel in mechanical strength, durability, and chemical resistance. Through meticulous formulation and optimization, we aim to push the boundaries of epoxy technology, catering to the unique demands of industries such as aerospace, automotive, and coatings. Our research efforts extend to exploring the synthesis of epoxy-based nanocomposites, hybrid systems, and functional coatings, enabling advancements in areas such as corrosion protection, thermal management, and structural integrity.

Diving into the world of rubber, we explore a multitude of rubber types, ranging from natural rubber to synthetic elastomers. By understanding the intricacies of rubber chemistry, we strive to engineer materials with exceptional properties such as elasticity, resilience, and wear resistance. Our investigations encompass rubber formulation, compounding, and processing techniques to address the specific needs of diverse industries, including automotive, sports, and industrial applications. Furthermore, our research group is at the forefront of vitrimer research, an exciting and emerging class of materials with unique properties. By harnessing the reversible bond formation and dynamic behavior of vitrimers, we unlock extraordinary functionalities such as self-healing, reprocessability, and shape memory characteristics. Our endeavors in vitrimer research span applications across aerospace components, drug delivery systems, and advanced materials with intelligent response capabilities. Collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches are the driving forces behind our research group. We actively engage with industry partners, academia, and research institutions to foster knowledge exchange, tackle real-world challenges, and create meaningful impact. Our research outcomes have the potential to revolutionize aerospace technologies, coatings technology, textile engineering, automotive advancements, drug delivery systems, water purification processes, wound healing therapies, and sensing technologies.

Join us on this exhilarating scientific expedition as we strive to unravel the mysteries of materials and unlock their transformative potential. Together, we can shape a future where scientific innovation and sustainability go hand in hand, making a lasting positive impact on industries and society as a whole.
