Research Interest:

My area of research is polymer, magnetic materials, MOFs and energy storage materials. In Ph.D. I have worked in synthesis, characterization and selective applications of multicomponent inorganic metal-nonmetal nano/micro composites. Synthesized materials were used

  1. In solar flat plate collector to enhance the absorption efficiency
  2. with paint in house prototype to increase the thermal comfort
  3. Thermo-Oxidative Degradation of Polyethylene, Poly (vinyl chloride), and Polystyrene

 

  • Current Research: Solid state battery, Cathode/anode materials, Energy storage materials, Sensible and latent heat storage materials, Phase change materials (PCM), Solar energy conversion & storage, Reflective coatings, Polymer degradation, Magnetic materials
