Research in our laboratories is broadly organized around the following areas.

A number of them are further broken down into subareas.

Polymer Chemistry

 

· Synthesis, characterization and modification of smart polymers, hydrogels, membranes and adsorbents

· Controlled/Living polymerization techniques

· Synthesis of reactive and functional polymers

· Nanostructuring of polymers for molecular imprinting

· Conductive polymer blends and composites based on polyaniline

· Solution and complexation behaviors of polysaccharides (chitosan, alginate, etc.)

 

Radiation Chemistry

 

· Radiation synthesis of polymers, copolymers and hydrogels

· Radiation induced crosslinking, degradation, grafting

· Radiation induced degradation of water pollutants

· Dosimetric responses of polymers, polymer blends

 

 

Nobel Prizes in Chemistry

Robert Bruce Merrifield (USA) won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his development of methodology for chemical synthesis on a solid matrix in 1984. Click here for more...
