Research
To develop innovative particulate (Colloidal/Nano/Bio materials) based systems for next generation
processes and devices that sustain and improve the economic well being of the nation and contribute
to the quality of the environment and public health. We conduct a blend of fundamental and applied
resear ch across a broad range of industry sectors and research areas including dispersibility of
colloidal systems, interparticle forces and adhesion, wetting and particle adsorption, surface
modification and coating, nanotechnology, ceramics, composite materials, bio and polymer
interfaces. The underlying scientific theme that connects all of the activities is the chemistry and
physics of interfaces.
Dispersion of Nano Particulate Matter:Dispersibility of CNTs/Graphene and other nano particulate
matters, and fundamental aspects of dispersion in aqueous/non-aqueous medium. Rheology of CNTs
suspension.
Transparent Conducting Composite Thin Films: Fabrication of transparent conducting CN-
reinforced composite thin films by in-situ polymerization technique. The solution based in-situ
polymerization technique promises a simple, efficient and scalable manufacturing process for a
variety of substrate and devices vs. current ITO based complex deposition techniques. Thin,
transparent conducting films play a huge role in modern electronics, mainly for electrode applications
in devices such as flat panel display, plasma display, liquid crystal display, touch screen, solar
reflecting glass, solar cells, and sensor devices, organic light emitting diodes etc.
Superhydrophobic Engineering Materials: Fabrication of highly transparent and flexible super
hydrophobic thin films with good thermal and mechanical stability by mimicking the surface of lotus
leaves by controlling the roughness and topography of hydrophobic surfaces by facile inexpensive
sol-gel technique. It has wide range of applications starting from self-cleaning materials to marine
engineering materials where salt resistance is required.
Functional/Structural Nanostructured Composite Coatings: Functional/structural nanostructured
ceramics/composite coatings on engineering materials by different processing routes including
electrophoretic deposition, spin coating, dip coating, sol-gel coatings for application in oxidation and
corrosion resistance. Corrosion control of metals is of technical, economical, environmental, andaesthetical importance. Smart coatings are one of the areas, apart from above mention coating
fields, which is defined as any coating that changes materials properties in response to an
environmental stimulus. Coating have been engineered that link changes in light, temperature,
humidity, pressure, electrical current pH, to a variety of outputs.
New Generation Energy Storage Materials:The challenges before the materials scientists are to
develop materials for extraordinary energy storage applications with ultrafast charge rate, very high
power density, and extraordinary long life cycle. Super capacitors are supposed to be most promising
as energy storage for next generation process. Some work is being carried out based on graphene
based electrochemical energy storage with the aim of developing super capacitors of high power
density and long cycle life.
Smart and Intelligent Materials:Materials that sense the physical, chemical and biological
environment by significantly changing their properties discontinuously or in a controlled fashion are

increasing interest for a variety of uses, from the electronics industry, to medicine to space
structures. The subject covers vast arrays of adaptive, active and multifunctional materials systems
ranging from inorganic solids such as ceramics, metals, functionalised nanotubes and organic
polymers and gels to responsive organometallic compounds, metal-organic frameworks, co-
ordination polymers, and molecular level smart materials.
Forming P rocess: Ceramics wet processing such as gel-casting, slip-casting, tap-casting, to develop
near net shape structures for various applications.
