membranes for use of pervaporation separation of ethanol-water mixture and their sugar
industrial applications”, Submitted to DST, VGST, GOK, Bengaluru.
Post Doctoral Experience (March 2007 to June 2008):
Here, I’m working on synthesis of monomers and polymers, modifications of
polymers, conducting polymers, waterborne polyurethanes and its nanocomposites, and
polymers for fuel cell applications. PUs have great potential applications as modern
materials in view of their non-toxic, non-flammable and environmentally benign nature.
Graphene, two-dimensional allotropic form of carbon, has recently explored as a material
of choice in the design of new electronic devices.
By incorporating graphene into
waterborne polyurethane, its electrical conductivity would increase 10-7 times. Such
waterborne polyurethanes were prepared and fully characterized by myself using
techniques like conductivity, DSC, DMTA, TAG, TEM, FE-SEM, XRD and mechanical
properties.

RAGHU A.V. Ph.D.
I also developed some of the novel nanostructured conducting polymers and its
nanocomposites with various metal and metal oxide nanoparticles such as Ag, Au, Pt,
TiO2, Fe3O4, SiO2, carbon nanotubes, etc., These materials shows excellent electrical and
thermal conductivity, good environmental stability, and potentials applications in various
fields including sensors, LEDs, nanodevices, fuel cells, etc.,
