Through experiment, theoretical and computational research, the multidisciplinary team at the “Center of Excellence in Material Science” is deeply engaged in developing novel functional materials to address critical challenges across the industry and society. The research focus areas are
-
Bio/synthetic polymer-based nanocomposites,
-
Nano-materials for applications in structural, energy, biotechnology, and agricultural sectors.
-
Synthesis of bio-polymer membranes for separation and packaging,
-
Thin films for tribological and sensing applications.
-
Novel materials for energy storage/harvesting applications
