Laboratory Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering




1. General Laboratory

Research Laboratory:

1. Biomaterials Research Laboratory (BRL)

Research activities in BRL cover both fundamentals and applications, ranging from Macro (natural biopolymers) to Nano (synthetic nanomaterials), and Environmental Education are performed by close collaborations both within the University as well as between local and international institutions in a synergistic manner. The laboratory also investigate food related research and hydrogel for tissue engineering.

Four Main Research Themes Include: (For details, please visit my personal profile)

1. Enzyme-Polymer Conjugates and Their Application:
Enzymes are generally inactive under extreme conditions such as high temperature which actually limits their applications. We targeted to improve enzymatic functions under high temperature using enzyme-polymer conjugations. Bio-conjugations improve enzyme activity even after serious heat treatment. Moreover, we also used low molecular weight compounds to save enzymes under unfavorable conditions.

2. Composite Materials:

Within this research theme, we seek to fabricate biofiber-reinforced thermoplastic/thermosetting matrix-based composites for a wide range of applications. We use both marine (alginate, chitosan etc.) and plant based (jute, areca nut, coconut, starch etc.) fibers. We characterize composites’ properties and evaluate them as a potential candidate. We recently started to work on hydrogel.

3. Nano-materials:

Within this research concept, we attempt to synthesize solely novel nanomaterial (NPs) with various morphologies or combine nanomaterial with natural/synthetic polymer to enhance better performance towards potential applications. We synthesize NPs using green chemistry and used them as a candidate for antimicrobial agent.

4. Environmental Research: Water/Soil/Food Chemistry and Risk Assessment:

We characterize nanocomposite/hybrid and evaluate them as a potential candidate to aid environmental remediation. Furthermore, recently, we are investigating hydro-geochemical signatures, quality indices and health risk assessment from water/soil/food (rice, lentil, fish) samples with special reference to Bangladesh.

4. Bio-Nanomaterials Laboratory (BNL)

Research activities in BNL cover both fundamentals and applications, ranging from Macro (millimeter length scale) to Nano (nanometer length scale), towards the development of high-performance advanced materials and innovative functional devices, including smart polymers, biopolymers, sustainable polymers, hydrogels, nanomaterials, bionanomaterials, composites and bioplastics. Exciting efforts are underway to combine green chemistry and nanotechnology to address tasks that are intrinsically challenging, like, producing bioplastics to biomimetic scaffolds to bioenergy. The research activities are performed by close collaborations both within the University as well as between local and international institutions in a synergistic manner.

Four main research themes include:

1. Biomaterial-guided Regenerative Medicine

Under this research theme, we pursue to design, develop and characterize innovative, biopolymer-based hydrogels. We love to play with both composition (natural and synthetic polymers) and chemistry (crosslinking, functionalization etc.) within hydrogels to closely mimic natural tissue both in architecturally and functionally.  We study hydrogels’ properties mainly morphology and mechanics (in-depth). In collaboration, we use these hydrogels for basic cell study, biosensors, tissue regeneration and drug delivery. Designing and developing clinically relevant multifunctional dynamic materials and devices is the ultimate goal of this research theme. Exciting efforts are underway to combine biopolymers and nanomaterials using a simple but robust synthesis strategy to fabricate three-dimensional nanoarchitectures for tissue regeneration. Additionally, a variety of chemistries are being considered to create new types of materials and to endow functionalities into polymers for targeted approaches in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

 2. Biofiber-reinforced Composites

Within this research theme, we seek to fabricate biofiber-reinforced thermoplastic/thermosetting matrix-based composites for a wide range of applications, ranging from household to aviation. We use both marine (alginate, chitin, chitosan etc.) and plant based (jute, areca nut, coconut, starch etc.) fibers. We fond to tune the hydrophilicity of the fibers for imparting better fiber-matrix interfaces. We characterize composites’ properties and evaluate them as a potential application.

3. Nanomaterial-aided Environmental Remediation

Within this research concept, we attempt to synthesize solely novel nanomaterial with various morphologies or combine nanomaterial with natural/synthetic polymer to enhance better performance towards visible light spectrum for the remediation of environmental/water pollution. We characterize nanocomposite/hybrid and evaluate them as a potential candidate to aid environmental remediation. Novel synthesis strategy is being exploited in order to build materials and devices that can take advantage of rich variety of nanoparticles that are now became available.

4. Green Chemistry driven Bioplastics and Biofuels

Under this research theme, we seek solution to support the transition to a carbon-neutral world as well as green world.  An attempt for replacing the persistent plastic packaging materials, mostly petroleum-based, with the biodegradable biopolymer-based ones (bioplastics) is undergoing. In addition, to replace the fossil fuel-based energy sources (limited world reserve as well as pose environmental concern) with renewable, sustainable, alternative, and carbon-neutral energy sources, we aim to produce biofuels form a variety of feedstocks including agricultural crop residues, forestry biomass, livestock manure, municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, industrial effluents, and other organic waste streams.
