Research

In the new era of green and sustainable materials, our research team focus on development of new materials for societal needs by combining local resources and expertise, to provide solutions to complex technical challenges in material design, enhancement, utilization, and identification. The research portfolio spreads across the fields of Shielding materials, nanomaterials, Nanocomposites, Magnetic materials, Polymers (Organic Synthesis & Bio). The main area of our research is development of suitable polymer nano composites, an important category of materials that demonstrate distinct physicochemical properties that are inaccessible with individual components acting alone. These nanocomposites have recently attracted intensive research interest owing to their promising potential for a broad assortment of applications in environmental remediation and in solving various environmental problems
