Synthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms
August 2, 2007 to June 30, 2011
| Completed Project
Nanotechnology is the study of phenomena exhibited by materials at the atomic and molecular level of dimensions ranging from a few nanometers to less than hundred nanometers. The total global demand for nanoscale materials, tools and devices was estimated at nearly $7.5 billion in 2003 and is expected to reach $28.7 billion in 2008, at an average annual growth rate of 30.6%.
Molecular characterization of Pongamia pinnata germplasm
August 1, 2007 to September 12, 2011
| Completed Project
The project aims at survey and identification of superior high yielding trees of Pongamia through multidisciplinary approach. The trees will be evaluated morphologically, biochemically and with molecular markers for their potential for biodiesel production. Markers associated with oil and seed traits will be identified.

August 1, 2007 to July 21, 2011
| Completed Project
The project involves providing technical guidance to Nansen Environmental Research Centre (NERCI), Kerala, India for successful implementation of project titled "Water quality monitoring and low cost purification strategies for inland waterways of low lying areas" on behalf of UNEP and Asia Pacific Forum on Environment and Development (APFED) at IGES.
Development of Tailor made Green Packaging Plastic - thermal, mechanical and biodegradation studies
August 1, 2007 to April 14, 2011
| Completed Project
In this study, synthetic plastics-bioplastics blends would be prepared. A suitable compatibilizer would be synthesized so as to improve the dispersion of the filler in the matrix phase. Starch and chitosan based polymers with nanoclay reinforcements will be attempted. The mechanical, thermal and morphological studies will be carried out as per the ASTM standards.
