International Webinar on

Real World Applications of Nanomaterials 

Title : Nanocomposites and their applications

Speaker : Prof Tushar Jana
Dr Tushar Jana is a professor at School of Chemistry, University of Hyderabad.
Prof Tushar Jana received his Ph.D from Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science
and has postdoctoral experience at University of Pittsburg and Rensselaer Polytechnic
institute , New York.
 Research interests revolved around a number of themes in Polymer Chemistry and Material
science and his current research is focused on 3 important areas
1 Polymer membranes 2. Polymeric nanoparticles and hydrogels 3. Polyurethanes
He has published about 78 research articles in reputed peer reviewed journals, has 4
patents and 2,527 citations to his credit.
15 students are working with him currently and their group emphasizes on synthesis of
complex macromolecular architectures and understanding their structure-property
relationships, which are key in improving the polymer performance and designing new
materials. They employ step-growth, emulsion, photo, radical and Reversible Addition-
Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization techniques to synthesize the newly
designed polymers and utilize these synthesized polymers to develop polymeric membranes,
core-shell nanostructures, nanocomposites, polymer gels, hydrogels and colloids etc. for their
potential use in variety of applications which include fuel cell, water purification, gas
separation, sensors, drug delivery, energetic polymers, coatings etc.
