Preparation of Eco-friendly Paints by Degradation of Plastics Using Ideonella Sakaiensis

Our objective is to prepare eco-friendly pants by degrading plastics, which are a potential threat to our environment as it takes 500-1000 or more years to decompose naturally. We offer an eco-friendly approach where the microorganism Ideonella sakaiensis sakaiensis breaks Plastics into simpler compounds such as Ethylene Glycol and Terephthalic acid under aseptic conditions.

Mobile Micro-Factory for Upcycling Wind Turbine Blades into Architectural Façade Panels

Globally, tens of thousands of wind turbine blades are being retired without scalable, sustainable reuse pathways. These blades—built from glass-fibre composites—are often landfilled, incinerated, or shredded into low-grade filler. At the same time, the construction industry is seeking cost-effective, fire-rated façade materials with a lower carbon footprint. This project proposes a transformative solution: a mobile,

Fast Dynamic Laser Beam Combining and Shaping for Generating Flat-top Beams

For materials processing, laser manufacturing and machining, medical applications, etc., it is important to shape intensity and phase profile of the laser beam. To maintain optimum processing of materials, e.g., in drilling, the beam profile should be dynamically changed as the crater depth grows. Existing methods of dynamic shaping, viz., using an array of mechanically moving mirrors,

Wear- and Corrosion-resistant Surface Coating for Hard Chrome Replacement

We have developed a novel method, dubbed thermal processing & coating (TP&C), for manufacturing surface coatings that can replace the traditional hard chrome plating. The TP&C surface treatment allows one to combine exceptional mechanical properties obtained due to heat treatment with an enhanced tribological performance and corrosion resistance.
