Our research interests revolved around a number of themes in polymer chemistry and materials science. Current research is focused on three areas: (1) Polymer membranes, (2) Polymeric nanoparticles and hydrogels, (3) Polyurethanes. Group emphasizes on synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures and understanding of their structure-property relationships, which are key in improving the polymer performance and designing new materials. We employ step-growth, emulsion, photo, radical and RAFT polymerizations techniques to synthesize the newly designed polymers. The group utilizes these synthesized polymers to develop polymeric membranes, core-shell nanostructures, nanocomposites, polymer gels, miscible blends, hydrogels and colloids etc. for the use in varieties of applications.
