Located in the Department of Chemistry
& Environmental Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology
(NJIT), headed by Professor Somenath Mitra.
Our research focus are in the field of Analytical
Chemistry, Nanotechnology and Smart Active Coatings. In
analytical chemistry we are geared
towards developing instrumentation
for on-line/ real-time monitoring analysis, environmental monitoring, field
portable instruments and micro fluidic devices. In
nanotechnology we work on nanoparticles, particularly
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) as an adsorbents for various
environmental/pharmaceutical pollutants,
chromatography stationary phases, expanding their applications by functionalization and polymer
composites. Third area of our group's focus is on activity
Smart Active Coatings with embedded
sensing and color change properties with potential application in
defense related objects funded by Department of Defense (DOD).
Some of the research
projects currently underway are:
