Research Interest

Research Interest
• Exploiting metal–ligand interactive crosslinking for elastomers: Strategic incorporation of metal-ligand interactive dynamic crosslinking network into functionalized elastomer as a better substitute of conventional vulcanizing agents to impart advanced features such as self-healing, recycling, shape-memory, strain sensors to reduce use of toxic chemicals and to promote sustainable development. • Exploring oxide based reinforcing inorganic filler for elastomeric composites: development and modification of techniques to disperse inorganic filler, non black type in particular, more effectively into rubber and rubber blends to obtain composites with improved ultimate properties and investigating the structure-property correlation of the composite materials for understanding the behavior and properties of the rubber-filler interface which is the key factor for the most property enhancement.E
