Polymer Chemistry Group @IITK
Our group works on polymer chemistry; we make and break polymer (see the research section for details).
We work on the development of new synthetic chemistry for the synthesis of polymers with targeted properties.
In an effort toward sustainability and circularity, we utilize simple organic chemistry for the minimization of plastic waste.
We are looking for project associate, Ph.D., and post-doc. Interested candidates kindly contact RKS. For the Ph.D. student, prior knowledge of polymer chemistry is optional.
