Outstanding Contributions of Prof.Thomas and Group
Dynamics of phase separation in nano scale polymer blends
The dynamics of phase separation of the epoxy based nano scale blends was investigated by high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and time-resolved light scattering. The morphologies of the blends showed a wide spectrum of new structures ranging from dispersed to co-continuous type, exhibiting irregular shapes In most cases, the time-resolved light scattering results display clearly that the phase separation takes place according to a spinodal decomposition mechanism and the evolution of scattering vector qm corresponding to epoxy droplets follows a Maxwell-type relaxation equation. However, very complex phase separation process was also seen certain blend compositions involving both nucleation and growth and spinodal decomposition. The temperature-dependent relaxation time τ obtained for these blends can be described by the Williams−Landel−Ferry equation. It demonstrates experimentally that the coarsening processes of epoxy droplets and the final morphologies obtained in these thermoplastic−epoxy systems are affected by viscoelastic behavior
Development of high-performance polymer nanocomposites
In the area of polymer nanocomposites, Prof.Thomas's group synthesized several nanofillers and fabricated high-performancenanocomposites based on natural rubber, PS, EVA, NR and epoxy resin. The morphology, mechanical properties, rheology and failure properties of these composites have been carefully analyzed
Processability-morphology-property relationship in nanostructured polymer blends and nanocomposites
Processability- structure- morphology- characteristics of a large number of nano scale polymer blends and nanocomposites have been established. .
Development of nano-scale fiber reinforced green polymer composites
Cost effective and eco-friendly composite materials have been developed from nano cellulose nano chitin and nano starch based on several polymers. Fundamental investigations have been performed on fiber-matrix interface adhesion, mechanical properties, and viscoelastic behavior. A new method has been proposed for the estimation of fiber-matrix interface adhesion by analyzing the kinetics of transport of solvents through the composite samples.
Design of nano scale polymeric membranes for transport and selective separation
In the area of diffusion and transport, Dr. Thomas has developed several cost effective and trouble free nanocomposite membranes as well as polymer blend membranes for the restricted transport of solvents, vapours, gases and for the selective separation of liquid mixtures. Jointly with Apollo tyres, the group of Prof. Thomas invented new inner liners and inner tubes for auto tyres.
Development of nano-scale interpenetrating polymer systems
Prof.Thomas group could do excellent work on the preparation and processing of interpenetrating polymer networks from natural rubber/PS, NR/PMMA and SBR/PMMA. The cross-linked rubber was swollen in styrene or PMMA first, followed by polymerization and crosslinking .
Dual porous polymer nano-scale scaffolds for tissue engineering
Very recently electrospinning has been made use of for the development of dual porous new bio-degradable polymer nanocomposites scaffolds for tissue engineering. Biodegradable polymers such as PLA, PHB and polyesters were used for this purpose. Nanofillers such as clay, carbon nanotube are being used.
Micro and nano fibrillar polymer nano composites from waste plastics
The group of Prof. Thomas developed a new class of microfibrillar polymer composites from PP/PBT and nylon12/PP blends. Morphology, mechanics, crystallization, dynamic viscoelastic properties have been analyzed as a function of temperature, draw ratio and blends composition.
Development of a new green adsorbent material from cellulose nanofibers for water
A new high performance adsorbent material has been developed for the adsorption of positively charged crystal violet dyes from CNFs via a nonsolvent- assisted methodology using Meldrum's acid as an esterification agent. It is also demonstrated that the Meldrum's modified cellulose nanofiber-based PVDF nanofibrous membrane can be successfully used to remove the crystal violet dyes and Fe2O3 nanoparticles (with the rejection of over 99%) from the water.
Self assembled nano scale hybrid filler system for reinforcing polymer systems
Surface modified hybrid nano-scale fillers were used for the reinforcement of many polymer system where the functional groups present at the filler surface self assemble to form three dimensional net work structure in the polymer system leading to dramatic improvement in the mechanical properties.
We could do excellent work on the preparation and processing of interpenetrating polymer networks from natural rubber and PS. The cross-linked rubber was swollen in styrene first, followed by polymerization and crosslinking
Recycling and reuse of waste rubbers
In the area of recycling, we have developed a cost –effective technique for the recycling of cross-linked waste rubbers (prophylactics) obtained from the latex industries
Synthesis of new accelerators and their use in rubber vulcanization
A series of accelerators based on 1-phenyl-2, 4-dithiol biuret has been synthesized and their effect on vulcanization has been studied. These accelerators act as anexcellent binary system for the vulcanization of rubbers
