• I am actively involved in the following works:
•  Electrodeposition of polyaniline coating on mild steel for superhydrophobic application.
• A simple facile approach has been used to achieve the water contact angle of >1500 with rolling superhydrophobic surface on polyaniline coated mild steel specimen.
•  Polypyrrole coated flexible electrodes for supercapacitor and battery applications.
• Oxidative polymerized polypyrrole coated cost-effective flexible electrodes were successfully prepared from different materials like A4 sheet, tea bag, cotton cloth, green and dry leaves etc. This could be a novel and cost-effective electrode material for energy storage device like supercapacitors.
•  Composite coating for the multi-functional application.
• Highly corrosion resistant novel carbon nano onion (CNO) based composite coating has been developed with impedance value > 1010 Ωcm2 in 3.5 % NaCl solution. It has exhibited excellent corrosion inhibition during long term immersion in the corrosive medium.
• Cenosphere and hallow carbon nano sphere-based composite coatings being developed for radiative day time cooling application.
•  Oil pipeline corrosion/scale inhibitor
• Green corrosion inhibitors to be developed for reducing the interfacial tension and corrosion resistance of gasoline pipelines.
