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
  • Advanced materials based on hybrids/composites of GO/rGo/CNT's 
  • Activated carbon from wastes or recycle process
  • Heterogeneous catalysis and adsorption  
  • Metal-organic frameworks compounds (MOFs)
  • Binary, ternary and quaternary metal oxides
