| Short Description of Research Theme |
The design and development of nanomaterial-based composites can be an interesting research theme that covers multiple areas of research. The proposed research can focus on developing composite materials that incorporate nanomaterials with biodegradable polymers for water purification purposes. The bioactivity of nanomaterials in these composites can be explored and can be used to enhance the purification process. Additionally, the research can investigate the potential use of these composites as sensors for detecting environmental pollutants. This would require studying the sensing properties of various nanomaterials and incorporating them into the composite material. Another interesting area of study could be the formation and potential application of cost-effective and sustainable composite materials for a sustainable environment. Overall, this research theme offers multiple avenues for exploration and innovation, including the development of new materials, and understanding the properties of nanomaterials, and their multidimensional applications. |
