Rubber Technology
My research thrust areas covers the current national strategies for moving towards new technology development for success of “green and sustainable future”. My research encompasses new material synthesis for nanotechnology driven energy, catalytic, corrosion protection, improvement of interfacial strength between dissimilar materials (for example, metal-polymer bonding), light-weight composite materials, hybrid material fabrication by twin polymerization and water treatment aspects. Major research domains are:
- Polymer science, polymer chemistry, polymer engineering and rheology.
- Fabrication of wide variety of porous carbon with different nano-architectures.
- Exploring Inverse vulcanization method to obtain sulfur based copolymers with redox active functional crosslinkers.
- Elastomer based flexible-stretchable solid polymer electrolytes.
- Hybrid nanomaterials by twin polymerization
- Modification of interfaces by self-assembly approaches and chemical / physical modifications
- Water treatment
- In-situ spectroscopic investigation by x-ray spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
