Areas of Research

Polymer Nanotechnology
Polymer blending: This is the most efficient way to obtain new materials with enhanced performance. The blending of two or more homopolymers (with or without nanofillers) to form immiscible blends having certain desired mechanical properties is a key scientific challenge that requires application of concepts from chemistry, polymer physics and engineering design. Polymer Nanocomposites: When nano materials are combined with polymers, they have unique properties that are suitable for smart and advanced materials. It has been found that these materials offer key combinations of properties not available in single-phase materials. The incredible amount of interfacial area that is available in nanosized materials can lead to novel properties previously unattainable via traditional composites.
Polymer Processing
Polymer Processing: Processing of polymer nanocomposites made of immiscible polymer blends and nanofillers like carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene, and nanoclays is very important yet also very challenging in industry. This is a very exciting, challenging and multidisciplinary area of the group that offers great opportunities for academic and industrial research collaboration.
