Nanobiosciences & Engineering

Research in “Nanobiosciences and Engineering” was initiated with a mission of integrating science and technology. Presently the unit focuses on fundamental research on nanomaterials for applications in different domains.

The objective being to develop prototype models for the following fields of research:

Synthesis and characterisation of Nano particles for       

• Waste water Treatment
• Bactericidal effect

Synthesis and characterisation of multi walled carbon nanotubes for

• Super capacitors
• Electrochemical sensors

The objective being to develop prototype models for the following fields of research:
Use of Nanotechnology (CNT) for

• Supercapacitor development
• Nanofluids for HT
• Catalysis, Water Purification and Bio sensors

Supercapacitor		Nanofluids
Heterogeneous Catalysis		Water Purification - Biosensors

Use of Biotechnology for the segments of

• Food (Neutraceuticals and Enzymes)
• Health (Bioactive molecules and Drug delivery systems)
• Energy (Fuel cells)
