v Mr. Pardeep Pal, B Tech (DTU, Delhi),
Enrolment No. E Mail: [email protected] M Tech Project: Development of smart polymeric UF membrane surface for water
purification.
Theme: Chemistry at polymer surfaces and interfaces is central to many polymer materials
applications. The practical approaches to polymer surface modification are corona
discharge treatment, plasma modification, surface graft polymerization, and
chemical modification. In recent years, the self-organization of polymers has been
increasingly explored for the preparation of well-defined surfaces and interfaces.
Composite membranes are particularly attractive because they require only small
amounts of the potentially expensive skin material.
v Miss. Abhilasa Pant, B Tech (BTKIT, Uttarakhand)
Enrolment No: 00416109515 Email: [email protected] M Tech Project: Development of green Polymeric nano-catalyst for organic pollutant
degradation at ambient condition.
Theme: PANi coated magnetic Nickle Zinc Ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized and
studied for their application in removal of the orange ll Sodium salt azo dye under ambient
conditions. The nickel zinc ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by coprecipitation method
and coated with PANi using sodium hypochlorite and ammonium persulfate as oxidising
agent. The polymeric nano-composite thus resulted, possesses magnetic behaviour and was
separated using a magnet. Prior to PANi coating four different modifications of nanoparticles
were made and then these PANi coated particles were comparatively analysed with the help
of TGA, and checked for stability in water. The comparative study of dye removal was done
using UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

Field of Research: Development of high performance smart polymeric membrane for
Ultrafiltration Process.
Theme: Surface modification of polymeric membranes with hydrophobic surfaces is an
effective technology to improve selectivity, flux enhancement, longevity with
antifouling performance and have been reported in the several literatures.
Enhancement of water permeability is basically due to the increase in
hydrophilicity by generation of negative charge on the membrane surface and
enlargement of pores that prevents natural biopolymeric foulants to adhere
membrane surface. It is believed that the hydrophilic surfaces are able to provide
a buffer layer adjacent to the membrane surfaces with polar water molecules and
enhanced the membrane performance.

Field of Research: Novel Technology for secondary effluent treatment.
Theme: The purpose of this study is to investigate treatment methods for removal and
degradation of contaminants of emerging concerns from secondary effluent. This
goal can be achieved by researching potential treatments methods for
contaminants of emerging concerns as well as studying their pathways to enter
into water supply, the environmental risk and the long term effects they pose to
organisms (including humans), and the current technologies that are being
utilized. Evaluation the current treatment methods that are use by experts in the
field in order to identify the gaps in their experimental results and then help to fill
those gaps through a series of UV photolysis, UV/H2O2, adsorption experiments
and other advanced treatment methods and finally the finding of the efficient
technology for the treatment of secondary effluent.

Field of Research: Development of intelligent/smart polyaniline conducting composite.
Theme: Among all the applicable conducting polymers, the polyaniline (PANI) has been
regarded as an essential candidate for the smart materials owing to its high conductivity, easy
synthesis, good environmental stability, and various potential applications. The hybrid
composites provide tremendous potential for creating new paradigms for material–structural
interactions and demonstrate varying success in many engineering applications. Particularly,
the “smart” nanocomposites consisting of magnetic nanoparticles and intelligent polymers
display significant and remarkable aspects and such combined work will exploits a facile path
for multifunctional materials and facilitate a variety of novel technological applications.

Field of Research: Development of Magnetic Naomaterials for Biotechnological
Applications.
Theme: Recent advances in synthetic procedures enable preparation of
magnetite nanoparticles with narrow size distribution and well-controlled shape and
crystallinity. An integration of magnetite nanoparticles into hybrid multifunctional structures
will be designed to create novel opportunities and broaden the fields of applications. To face
a major challenge toward the technological use of magnetite nanoparticles (and other
magnetic nanostructures), the design of effective bio-interfacial coating procedures will be
integrated to impart the magnetic suspensions with longer residence time in applied field and
improved ability to engage in specific molecular recognition binding events. The process may
be considered a more convenient route to ferrite nanoparticles compared to the previous high-
temperature solution-phase synthesis and seed-mediated growth method as there is no
injection or seeds are required in the reaction. With the fine control of reaction parameters,
such as reactant concentration and surfactant/metal ratio, the size, and therefore the magnetic
properties, of the particles will be optimized for biological applications. Iron oxide magnetic
nanoparticles (MNPs) alone are suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, but the low
stability and heterogeneous size distribution in aqueous medium represent major setbacks.
These setbacks can however be reduced or diminished through the coating of MNPs with
various polymers, especially biopolymers such as polysaccharides. Such magnetic
nanoparticles, with proper surface functionalization, will be used to attach biomolecules and
serve as a label for highly sensitive biosensing, separation, and imaging applications.

Thesis: "Design, Fabrication and Development of Polyaniline based Polymeric
Nanocomposite Containing TiO2 /SnO2 and PVA for Environmental and Energy
Applications".
Theme: Conducting polymer particularly Polyaniline (PANI) is an attractive polymer.
This polymer is modified by forming the composite material, using metal oxides and
insulating materials. The need of composite material is due to easy synthesis, light weight;
lower cost and good mechanical properties. As the main difficulty with the PANI is it’s
processing. Hence its industrial application is very difficult. To overcome this problem is the
main objective of this thesis. An option is to improve the processability of Polyaniline
(PANI) by using Titanium dioxide, Tin oxide, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Hence, the
synthesis, ex-situ, and in-situ polymerization techniques have been described for developing
the composite film of PANI. To fabricate the composite film of PANI, the composite material
has been developed in HCl media by TiO2, nano TiO2, and nano SnO2. For developing the
composite film the composite material of PANI is blended by an aqueous solution of PVA at
room temperature. Hence, the purpose of this work is to obtain new composite materials by
combining TiO2 or nano TiO2, nano SnO2, PANI and traditional thermoplastic polymers–
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in order to take advantage of the electrical and mechanical
properties of both kinds of materials by easy synthesis process. This research work can be
extended by the application test of this composite material in the field of corrosion.

Thesis: Design and development of Thermally Responsive Copolymer for Biomedical Applications.
Theme: The design and development of polymeric materials capable of responding to
an external stimulus has been receiving a consistent focus for drug delivery system,
protein delivery, bioprinting and tissue engineering applications. These smart
polymers are mimicking the biological system in a controllable and predictable
fashion that challenges researcher to develop new stimuli responsive polymeric
system for specific biomedical applications. Poly (N-isopropylacryl amide) is most
widely studied temperature responsive polymer. A majority of previous studies deal
with the improving of mechanical strength and modification of the surfaces of
polymers. There is no adequate literature available in respect to PNIPAM based
hydrogels that show dual responsive i.e. temperature as well as electric field
triggered release of drug molecules through hydrogels. These research works cover
the general area of thermo responsive polymers/hydrogels and encompass method of
fabrication hydrogel based drug delivery systems for controlled and targeted
therapeutic applications.
