Located in the Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology
(NJIT), and run by Professor Somenath Mitra,
our activities are in Analytical
Chemistry, Nanotechnology and Smart Active Coatings. In
analytical chemistry we are focused on developing instrumentation
for on-line process analysis, environmental monitoring, field
portable instruments and micro fluidic devices. In
nanotechnology we are working with
nanoparticles particularly carbon nanotubes as an adsorbents,
chromatography stationary phases, functionalization and polymer
composites. The third activity funded by DOD has been in
Smart Active Coatings with embedded
sensing and color change.
Some of the research
projects currently underway are:
