Research group Aji Mathew group

The focus of the group is biobased materials for different applications.


Materials for environment

  • Fully biobased membranes/ filters for water purification
  • Surface chemistry and interactions, mechanical properties, viscoelastic properties, in situ SAXS
  • Atomic force microscopy (understanding properties at nano scale, colloidal probe)

Materials for health

  • Biobased materials for medical applications
  • Tissue engineering, wound dressing, antifouling and antibacterial materials 

Synthesis and processing methods for sustainable materials

  • Nanocellulose and nanochitin isolation and characterization
  • Designing of recycling and circularity of materials 
  • Processing and characterisation of bionanocomposites, hybrids and crosslinked polymers
