  • Since the last 7 years, our group at Corrosion Engineering and Materials Electrochemistry laboratory has been involved in innovative and ground-breaking research in the fields of electrochemistry, surface modification, and corrosion. In this group, the focus is as much on the fundamentals of the electrochemical processes as on the real-world applications. A variety of materials ranging from metals and alloys to polymer composites are dealt with at both micro- and nano- scale so as to enhance the in-depth knowledge of phenomena studied

  • Corrosion characteristics of engg. materials & coatings
  • Smart coatings for corrosion protection
  • Micro and mechano electrochemistry
  • Titania nanotubes and properties
  • Metallic bipolar plates for PEMFC
  • High temperature oxidation and hot corrosion
