Projects
- Oil Skimmer and Combined Waste Collecting System, It is a floating vehicle which is used for collecting oil spilled in oceans and also it has capability to collect floating plastic waste.
- Ceramic Matrix Composite Brake Materials for Aircraft, Conventional brakes use silicon carbide reinforced with carbon as brake material. But in the case of emergency braking huge amount of heat is released and silicon gets softened affecting the braking property. So I introduced graphite to the composite by reducing the silicon percentage.
- Synthesis of Bio-resins and Effect of Bio-fillers on Curing Kinetics, Mechanical, Thermal and Visco-elastic Properties of its Epoxy Blends and Composites System, The successful development and characterisation of this bio-resin and its composites will help in replacement of existing petro-based polymers with superior properties. Replacement of existing petro-based polymers in the interior parts of automobiles by the Bio-epoxy/natural fiber composites.
Patents
Got patent for MTech project Synthesis of bio-resins and effect of bio-fillers on curing kinetics, mechanical, thermal and visco-elastic properties of its epoxy blends and composites system.
