Facilities
Our lab has a variety of facilities that are set up in the lab for the synthesis, characterization and study of nanomaterials. We also have access to several state-of-the-art facilities available at the centre for extended studies and characterization of the materials synthesized in the laboratory. Follow the links to view the list of facilities in the lab and at the Centre.
