In general, I’m very interested in the practical aspects of
the nanotechnology. I’m keen to explore the possibility of using nanoparticles
for engineering purposes, but, I’m also very enthusiastic in understanding the
interactions between the nano-objects based upon the existing framework of
colloid science. My current research focus is on integrating the iron oxide
nanoparticles into polymeric membrane and employed it to treat arsenic
contaminated water. The three main questions I’ll
like to address here are: (a) Could the
arsenic adsorption capability of magnetite nanoparticles be integrated into
polymeric membrane? (b) Are there any
advantages of using this new structure to treat the arsenic contaminated water?
(C) What is the benefit of having magnetic colloid augmented membrane, and,
what can it be used for?
