Polymer Science and Engineering Projects
Synthesis and development of advanced polymers-including biodegradable polymers, nanocomposites, superabsorbents, and smart materials-for applications in water treatment, agriculture, textiles, and medicine
Polymeric materials that degrade into harmless substances such as water and carbon dioxide after use, through the action of microorganisms or environmental conditions. These polymers (e.g., PLA and PHA) are applied to reduce plastic pollution in packaging, agricultural fertilizers, and single-use products
Polymers with extensive cross-linked molecular networks capable of absorbing and retaining very large amounts of liquid (typically water) relative to their own mass. These materials (such as sodium polyacrylate) are used in manufacturing diapers, sanitary pads, hydrogel soils, and for moisture retention in agriculture
Engineered polymers whose specific molecular structure confers exceptional resistance to tensile, impact, abrasive, and fatigue stresses. These materials (e.g., polycarbonate, PEEK, or reinforced composites) are utilized in manufacturing components for the automotive and aerospace industries, sports equipment, and industrial machinery
