Welcome To Materials Science Research Laboratory
Overview:
The area of Materials Science Research addresses
the technological challenges of creating, characterizing and applying new materials
to meet the requirements of fourth industrial revolution. The Materials Science
Research Laboratory (MSRL) of CARS has been organized with a mission to work on
the preparation of a wide range of materials including nanomaterials, polymers,
composites, bio-compatible materials and many more along with the studies of
their thermo-physical, rheological and mechanical properties. It also
encompasses the optical, magnetic and electrical studies of solids, liquid
crystals/melts and solutions. The aim is also to achieve the excellence in this field and to work with universities, standards bodies,
and other government laboratories to improve the quality of fundamental and general understanding of the
properties and performance of materials and how these relate to their
composition, structure and processing for sustainable technology and testing.
Research Area:
- Nanomaterials and nanotechnology
