Academic Projects
M.Tech Project: Department of Materials Science and Engineering, IIT Patna, Bihar
May 2017 - May 2018
Project Title - Synergetic effect of compatibilizer and nanofillers on physico mechanical properties of incompatible rubber latex blend

Supervisor - Dr. Dinesh Kumar Kotnees

Methodology - Mechanical blending of two rubber latex materials for enhanced physico mechanical properties

Study - Blending of polymer materials give rise to the novel functional properties which is not possible to achieve by an individual latex blend material. The project work is to study the synergetic effect of compatibilizer and nanofillers on the physico mechanical properties of the incompatible latex blend

The results found are as follow:
Results
It has been found that the compatibilizer improve the overall blend properties of the incompatible latex blend of natural rubber and nitrile rubber latex blend
The incorporation of nanofillers significantly enhanced the overall physico mechanical properties of the latex blend

B.E Project: Department of Polymer Engineering, MIT Pune, Maharashtra
July 2013 - June 2014
Project Title - Polymers in Enhanced Oil Recovery

Methodology - Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide was prepared by solution polymerization technique. Same technique was used to prepare a co-polymer from methyl methacrylate and acrylic acid

Study - The extraction of saturated oil from oil reservoir is a very difficult process. To obtained this saturated oil from the reservoirs special techniques were used. Polymer flooding is one the technique. The project work is the comparative study of the properties of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and co-polymer prepared from methyl methacrylate and acrylic acid.

Results - The results found were as follows:
It was found that the viscosity of the co-polymer increases with the increase in time. Hence, it was concluded that it is not suitable for polymer flooding.
This is due to the formation of hydrogen bonding between acrylic acid and water molecules.

Professional Trouble Shooting Cases

Example 1
Name of the Customer - Mr. Prashant Sao from Plenumtech Private Limited, Nagpur

Nature of the Problem - Nature of the
Problem

Applications - Medical sector

Equipment Used - Injection molding machine (Arburg ALROUNDER 320 TONS), Material used: Polyether Ketone (PEK)

Troubleshooting Methodology - The design of the mold was not correct. Initially, the mold was having a direct sprue gate due to which the components were facing problem such as jetting. It was recommended to change the design of the sprue gate by overlap gate. Processing parameters were optimized.

Results - The problem was solved after the change in design of the gate and optimizing the parameters

Example 2
Name of the Customer - Name of the Customer

Nature of the Problem - Shininess and short shot

Applications - Laser printer parts

Equipment Used - Injection molding machine (Arburg ALROUNDER 320 TONS), Material used¨ Polyether Ketone (PEK)

Troubleshooting Methodology - The process parameters such as injection pressure, melt temperature and mold temperature was optimized to troubleshoot the difficulties in the processing of polyether ketone (PEK) material

Results - The problem was solved after adjusting the processing parameters
