Main Areas of Research
The domain of surfactant's science is considered as one of the most interdisciplinary areas of modern science and technology. Surfactants are amphipathic substances with lyophlic and lyophobic groups making them capable of adsorbing at the interfaces between liquids, solids and gases. They are capable to form self-associated clusters, which normally lead to organized molecular assemblies/aggregates, monolayers, micelles, vesicles, liposomes and membranes. Their capability of reducing surface tension allows them to mix or disperse readily. The engineering applications of surfactants range from agricultural sprays to oil recovery including areas such as catalysis, coatings, dispersions, emulsions, electronics, floatation of minerals and lubrication, etc. They are being widely used in personal care products because of useful functional properties, the most important of which are emulsification, stabilisation, dispersion, gelling, skin penetration, etc. Among biomedical applications, uses of surfactants extend from anesthesiology to zoology covering artificial implants, biomembranes, biolubrication, lipoproteins, opthalmogy, pharmaceuticals and pharmacology. In view of these important uses and unique properties, namely, ultralow interfacial tension, large interfacial area, thermodynamic stability and the ability to solubilize immiscible liquids, they have found multifarious applications in cosmetics. My major areas of research interest include; production of economical textile auxiliaries through micellar catalysis, emulsion polymerization, etc, production and evaluation of biodiesel from renewable resources, evaluation of cheap biosorbents for the removal and recovery of hazardous materials from industrial effluents, utilization of surfactants for industrial applications like detergency, corrosion, scale, biological growth inhibition, environmental remediation using surfactant's modified adsorbents, production, characterization of new materials including nano-composites, conducting polymers, micro emulsions, enhanced oil recovery and drug delivery by surfactants, etc. The research is mainly focused on the investigation of phase behavior, adsorption, micellization, and characterization of the end products using conventional and non-conventional (gemini, non migratory, etc) surfactants. Different techniques including Tensiometer, conductivity meter, FT-IR, GC-MS, AAS, UV/Visible, SEM, STM, etc and state of the art are being executed.
