Welcome to International Material Research Lab (IMRL), Nirmalagiri College. We are interested in synthesizing a wide variety of nano materials using different techniques. We characterize these materials using different techniques such as powder XRD, IR, TGA-DTA/DSC, UV and spectroflourimetry. We are investigating structural, magnetic, electrochemical, dielectrical, and catalytical properties of these materials. Developing electrochemical sensors for various biologically important molecules are of prime importance to us. Our ultimate aim is to understand the structure-property-activity relationship.
