Projects

Most of my research involves collaboration with academia, government labs and industry. This section describes key research areas currently undertaken by my laboratory:

  1. Nanocomposites: Carbon Nanotube Polymer Composites, Fe Polymer Nanocomposites, TiO2 Polymer Nanocomposites, Barium Titanate and Bismuth Oxide Nanocomposites, and Rotaxane Metal Organic Nanocomposites.
  2. Hydrophilic Polymers for Biomedical Applications.
  3. Polyurethanes for Biomedical Applications: Ultrasoft Thermoplastic Polyurethanes and Latex Free Balloon Catheters.
  4. Dendrimers.
  5. Polymer Composites with Enhanced Thermal Conductivity.
  6. In Situ Polymerization of Cyclic Butylene Terephthalate(CBT) Oligomers with Conductive fillers for Thermal Management. PDF Word
