Research/Teaching Interest :
My work mainly focusses on
Self-assembly of surfactant and Polymer at interfaces and in solution. I used a
variety
of experimental techniques to investigate block copolymer micelles under different
solution conditions. The techniques involved 1H NMR, Steady State Fluorescence,
Dynamic
light scattering, small angle Neutron scattering, HS-DSC along with several
Physio-chemical methods. Solubilization of hydrophobic drugs in polymer micelles as
their releasee was examined for the application of these nano-reservoirs in drug
delivery systems.
Another area of my research involves separation science and technology wherein I
work on
removal of toxicants such as dyes, PAH etc. using biobased adsorbents as well as
employing cloud point extraction techniques using surfactant micelles.
