Smart Materials and Nanotechnology

Polymer Science and Engineering

Polymer science and engineering is the field of science which studies the synthesis and applications of polymeric materials (polymers). Crystallization and Polymerization of polymers, Polymer Nanotechnology, Materials Science and Electronics study and apply polymers in several applications such as lithium-ion polymer battery (LiPo), electro active polymers, polymer brush, self- assembled polymeric films, Silicon Nano spheres, collagen, enzymes, elastin, cellulose, chitin, plastics, fibres and adhesives. Smart Materials like thermoelectric materials, self-healing and shape memory polymers have also come under research in this field.
