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
- In solar flat plate collector to enhance the absorption efficiency
- with paint in house prototype to increase the thermal comfort
- 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
