CEFIPRA Centre Franco-Indien pour la Promotion de la Recherche Avancée Duration: Three years and six months (September, 2007 to February, 2011) Objectives The objective of the project was to design functional nanomaterials obtained either through hybrid interpenetrated fibrillar networks between thermoreversible polymer gels and an organogel or through the encapsulation of supramolecular polymers within the fibrils of covalent polymers. Both aspects were achieved by using simple physical processes such as thermoreversible gelation, liquid-liquid or liquid-solid phase separation, heterogeneous nucleation, self-assembling and the like. The following routes were taken up: i) Hybrid interpenetrated fibrillar network ii) Encapsulation of supramolecular polymers within the fibrils of covalent polymers Accomplishments i) Design of composite gels of polystyrene and oligo(pphenylenevinylene) (OPV) with improved physical properties ii) Insights on the morphological and physical properties of the hybrid gel using small angle X-ray scattering and AFM studies iii) Design of composite gels of OPVs and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) iv) Preparation of superhydrophobic and self-cleaning coatings of OPV-CNT composites v) Design of various organogel morphology by toying with end groups and solvent type Research papers published: Four Papers presented in conferences : 7 Project 3708-2 FUNCTIONAL HYBRID NANOMATERIALS OF POLYMERIC GELS AND p - CONJUGATED SELF-ASSEMBLIES a) b) a) Photographs of solutions of OPVOH, immiscible CNTs, and a dispersion of the -4 OPV–CNT composite in chloroform. b) OPVOH gels in toluene (5x10 m) with 0, 0.22, 0.45, 0.9, and 1.3 wt% of MWNTs with respect to toluene (left to right).

Among them, 9 are proteins of unknown function that constitute of wide reservoir of novel genes for further studies v) The biological component for the designing of Ni and Co biosensor for Ni and Co environmental monitoring is achieved Research papers published: Three Papers presented in conference: 1 Posters: 3
