RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Nanodimensional compositional glass preparation, characterization and
specific measurement were done during my Ph D thesis work. Li2O.SiO2
nanoglasses and Fe2O3.SiO2 nanoglasses were prepared using sol-gel
method within a hard template such as compacted nano CuO or ZnO
nanorods or mesoporous KIT 6. X ray diffractogram and Transmission
electron microscopy was used to characterise these hard templates. The
ion dynamics of Li+ was studied by impedence spectroscopy using LCR
meter in Cp-D mode. DC measurements were done by Keithley 617
electrometer. Time – Current measurements were carried out by voltage
source meter using blocking electrode as silver paint. The volume fraction of
the nanoglass contributing to the ionic resistivity was found out by
calculating pore volume from the FESEM micrograph. Magnetic
measurements on Fe2O3-SiO2 nanoglass-CuO or Fe2O3-SiO2 nanoglass-KIT 6
were done by SQUID magnetometer in the temperature range of 2-300K. The
magneto dielectric measurements were done using an Electromagnet (upto
2 T) and LCR meter.
Chemical analysis of materials was done using titration, EDS (Electron
dispersive X ray Spectroscopy), XPS (X ray photoelectron spectroscopy).
Electrodeposition was used to grow fractal structure of metallic silver.
These fractals are composed of nano silver particles. Nanomechanical study
of these nano silver particles was performed using Hysitron triboindenter
instrument (TI 900). Modulous, Hardness and Creep strain rate were
calculated for different nanomaterials and their nanocomposites.
Polymer films of Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) and Poly acrylamide were prepared
by solution casting and spin coating. Polymer characterization was done
using FTIR, DSC, DTA-TGA. Temperature dependent contact angle
measurements, temperature dependent atomic force micrograph and
temperature dependent apsorption study were done during my research in
superhydrophobicity. Surface roughness measurements were done using
atomic force microscope.
