Research Interests:
- Corrosion and coatings
It is well known that corrosion hits the economy as well as safety of human society. About 6-7% of our GDP lost due to corrosion. The common remedy of corrosion is barrier coating. There are several coatings available in the market. Mostly they are not environment friendly or toxic in nature. We mainly focused on non toxic/environment friendly and efficient coating development strategy for metal surface.
- Passivation and Inhibitors
Another way of prevention of corrosion is the passivation. Passivator are mainly inorganic compounds. Here we are aiming to develop highly efficient passivator / inhibitors which are very cheap, ecofriendly and bio-compatible.
- Hydrogels and their applications
Novel cross-linking methodologies for in situ formation of injectable hydrogels are of great current interest to the scientist community for fundamental and applied reasons. Various physical and chemical crosslinking coupling processes have been reported to construct the hydrogels. Multi-stimulus responsive hydrogels (MSRHs) have various applications in biomedical, tissue, engineering, drug delivery, etc. MSRHs can be responsive to various factors, such as pH, light, ionic strength, magnetic fields and chemical triggers like glucose. Development of such hydrogels for various application is one of the key focus of our group.
