Research Projects

Research projects are as follows

  • Development of multifunctional polymers such as gels, porous polymers, nanocompisites, shape memory polymers etc. 

  • Characterization of these materials and understanding of  different properties (e.g. mechanical, conductive) for applications in actuators and sensors

  • Development of 3D printable devices such as sensors and actuators utilizing different polymers

​

Some research projects based on the above mentioned topics are shown below

Accepting undergraduate students
