Chemical and Material Sciences Division
We are actively involved in the fundamental and applied research on diversified Materials and Chemicals
for providing the technological solutions to petrochemicals, energy and environment sectors. Research
activities of CMSD are supported by a large number of sponsored projects from the industries, government
funding agencies, national as well as international collaborating organizations and institutes.
The CMSD undertakes R&D work primarily focused to:
We are committed to provide technological solutions and services for petrochemicals, lubricants &
additives, corrosion, polymeric & functional materials, photocatalysis, homogeneous catalysis, and water
remediation applications.
