Polymer Nanocomposite

Our research focuses on the development, processing, and improved physical as well as chemical properties of polymers by incorporation of other highly efficient materials such as metal oxides, carbon nanomaterials, noble metal nanoparticles and transition metal chalcogenides.  We’re interested in inquiries on polymer nanocomposite across their entire life cycle, from synthesis to preparation, design, and processing, as well as their applications in various areas.
