Material Innovation Tracks

  • Nanocomposites & Bio-Composites
  • One of our flagship projects involved developing biomaterial-coated banana fibers, which exhibited tensile strength nearly five times that of uncoated fibers. This breakthrough in sustainable composites was achieved in collaboration with Cognavative, Pune, and opens up promising avenues in bio-based reinforcement materials for industrial use.
  • In parallel, we designed 3D-printed scaffolds using biomaterials for biomedical applications like tissue engineering. This initiative, done in collaboration with KLE Society’s Pharmacy College, showcased the synergy between additive manufacturing and materials science in healthcare innovation.
  • Membrane Technology
  • Our work in membrane engineering led to the creation of bio-thin film membranes that significantly extended the shelf life of vegetables. Conducted in partnership with UAS, Dharwad, this project underscores the potential of bio-based packaging materials to reduce food spoilage and contribute to more sustainable supply chains.
  • Thin Film Coatings
  • CMS has successfully developed tribologically enhanced and corrosion-resistant thin films using advanced techniques like CVD-Pyrolysis. These coatings were tested for durability and performance in partnership with IISc, Bangalore. Key outcomes include the deposition of carbon nitride (C₃N₄) nanotubes on metal substrates, fabrication of CdS thin filmson glass, and the observation of twisted nanotube structures under HRTEM. These materials hold potential applications in electronics, optics, and environmental sensing.
  • Energy Materials
  • In collaboration with Luminous Power Technologies, Haryana, we developed hybrid polymer gel electrolytes that enhanced the life cycle and performance of lead-acid batteries, making them more compact and efficient.
  • Our in-house team also designed high-energy supercapacitors that demonstrated improved energy density and rapid charge-discharge characteristics.
Additionally, with Invati Creation Pvt. Ltd., we formulated nano-coolants tailored for thermal management in battery systems and automotive applications, addressing critical challenges in heat regulation for next-generation energy systems.
