Research Summary:
Synthesis and functionalization of nanostructured materials using specially design high temperature and high pressure microreactor for biomedical and solar energy applications. Special emphasis is given to understand the evolution of size, shape and morphology of the particles. Develop and scale up a microreactor system to carry out controlled direct fluorination of organic compounds.
