Focus: Design, synthesis, and characterization of organic and polymer-based nanocomposites with tailored functional properties.
Key Activities:
- Incorporation of nanoparticles (e.g., graphene, metal oxides, nanoclays) into polymer matrices
- Development of flexible, lightweight, and multifunctional materials for energy storage, packaging, and filtration
- Structure-property relationships and processing optimization (e.g., solution casting, electrospinning, 3D printing)
- Thermal, mechanical, and barrier property enhancement using nanofillers
- Biopolymer-based composites for sustainable and biodegradable applications
