The prime target of our research activities is to develop advanced biopolymeric materials e.g., hydrogel fiber, carbon fiber, carbon and polymeric materials composites for novel applications such as energy and bioelectronics; environmental and agricultural applications. We mainly focus on the development of novel technologies for device fabrication and for smart applications. Together we have made a strong group who are working together with chemical engineer, chemists, biomedical engineers, and material scientists for achieving these goals. Our multidisciplinary research activities basically combine the fundamental and translational studies at the interface between material science, chemistry, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, and plant biology with the aim of:
Improving the performance of the state of art materials and develop novel techniques to fabricate smart materials for unique applications by developing simple, sensitive and low-cost methods.
Generating breakthroughs in fundamental sciences and engineering.
Incorporation of multidisciplinary unit to bring the best ideas.
