After joining Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) at 1992 Prof. Nandi has made significant contributions in emerging areas of polymer science resulting in 60 papers in ACS Journals and 40 papers in RSC Journals with a total publication of 173. His papers are cited ~2940 times (Average citation 16.7, H-index 30) and a portion of his work has been included in a textbook (‘Molecular Gels,” Kluwer) and two recent papers on nanojacketting and negative differential resistance are highlighted in Nature India (online 27.4.10, 25.8.11). He has recently written a book chapter on   polymer/graphene nanocomposites (CRC press) and another book chapter on  Functionalization and Properties of Graphene in Handbook of graphene science (CRC Press) is in Press. His most important contributions include the following fields:

Polymer Synthesis / Modification: The nominee has grafted a hydrophilic monomer N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) from PVDF backbone using ATRP technique (by initiating at the most stable >CF2 centre) to produce high grafting density that enables supramolecular organization of the graft copolymer (Macromolecules, 2009). The graft copolymer shows induced solubility in water and WAXS patterns of graft co-polymers indicate the existence of self organized short range ordering from supramolecular interaction.  The tensile stress-strain experiment indicates 45 times higher elongation and 1970% higher toughness than those of PVDF. The gluing property is significantly large (super glue), it produces gold nanoparticles in aqueous medium; amphiphilic membranes and on its modification to trimethyl ammonium ion it shows 2.2 X10-6 S/cm dc-conductivity. He has also grafted a hydrophobic monomer, n-butyl methacrylate, and the graft copolymer produce porous material showing significant increase of Li+ ion conductivity on doping (Macromol. Chem. Phys.2010).. He has also synthesized PVDF -g- poly(glycidyl methacrylate) -g- poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (PGHT) copolymer where P3HT segments self- organize into nanosphere morphology and the I-V characteristics curves exhibit electrical bistability (J. Mater. Chem2012b). Polythiophene-g-poly(dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate) (PT-g-PDMA, PD) has been synthesised by ATRP and the variation of photoluminescence (PL) property with temperature and pH is used to develop a fully polymeric fluorescent AND logic gate type material using methyl cellulose (MC) hydrogel (Soft Matter2012).He has also grafted PT with varying composition of diethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (MeO2MA) and oligoethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA) tuning the LCST of the system in physiological temperature region  promoting its application in fluorescent based biosensor (J.Polym. Sci. Polym Chem.,2013). Polythiophene-g-poly(methacrylic acid) (PTPA), prepared by ATRP of tert-butyl methacrylate upon polythiophene backbone followed by hydrolysis of tert-butyl groups using trifluoroacetic acid is semiconducting (dc-conductivity 10-2 – 10-5 s/cm) and exhibits reproducible photo-conductivity by alternate switching “On” and “Off” of white light illumination (J. Mater. Chem.A , 2014).

Polymer Crystallization & Polymer Blends: Polymer blends provide a myriad of new materials and it is very difficult to get a miscible polymer blend.  The nominee has elucidated the role of regioregularity & alkyl chain length on the crystallization and co-crystallization mechanism of poly(3-alkyl thiophenes) (J.Polym. Sci., Polym. Phys. Ed., 2002, Macromolecules, 2003, J.Phys.Chem B, 2005, Polymer,2005).  He has discovered a new compatible blend of PVDF with PET (Macromol. Chem. Phys. 2002) and has prepared co-crystals of PVDF and vinylidene fluoride – tetrafluoroethylene coploymer (Polymer 1994b, 1996) and has explained its influence on head to head (H-H) defect content of the samples. He has investigated the equilibrium for the entry of H-H defect into the PVDF lamella under different conditions (J. Polym. Sci. 2000). He has developed an accurate method for determining interaction parameter in a polymer blend (Macromolecules, 1995b) and introduced a new concept called kinetic immiscibility to explain the crystallization of PVDF–PMA blend after a long time (>6 months) of aging (Polymer, 1997). He has explored the conduction mechanism of P3AT co-crystals (J.Phys. Chem.B, 2005)) and recently he has prepared nanostructured conducting polymer blends of a polythiophene derivative and polythiophene-graft-poly(methyl methacrylate) brush with PVDF showing important optoelectronic properties.

Polymer and Supramolecular Gelation: The nominee is the first to elucidate the mechanism of gelation of thermoreversible poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) gels and tripeptide organogels in terms of percolation theory and theory of fibrillar crystallization (Macromolecules, 1995a, 1998, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin, 2002). He has developed a new method of engineering the morphology of PVDF gels (Macromolecules, 2000) and has discovered easily processible conducting polymers gel with polyaniline (PANI) + surfactants (Langmuir, 2000, 2001b, 2002) and poly(3-alkyl thiophenes) gels (Macromolecules, 2001; J. Phys. Chem., 2004)). He showed that the conductivity of the dried gels is approximately 2-3 order higher than that of the cast films. Using thermoreversible gels he has synthesized multiporous (nano to macro) polymeric materials (Macrmolecules, 2005, 2007).Recently a piezoelectric gel of PVDF has been discovered by him (Macrmolecules, 2008). A high performance and recyclable polymer bound Pd catalyst suitable for Suzuki coupling has been developed by proper drying of thermoreversible PVDF gel  by insitu formation of Pd nanoparticles (NPs)(J. Phys. Chem. C, 2009, Reac. Funct. Polym. 2011). Supramolecular organization is a new tool to develop materials of novel properties. He ingeniously brought about supramolecular organization of PANI and sulfonated PANI in the presence of surfactants.  The former produces network structure in the solid state and the latter gives rise to colloidal crystals (J. Mater.Res., 2003). He also prepared colloidal crystals of pure PVDF in its piezoelectric polymorph with optical band gap behaviour (Macromol. Mater. Eng. 2003). He has demonstrated that the self organization of PVDF and camphor sulfonic acid results in large spherulites (Langmuir, 2003, Macromol. Chem. Phys. 2003). Also, he has discovered that supramolecular assembly of camphor-10- sulphonic acid with N,N dimethyl formamide (DMF) via H-bonding produces giant spherulite (dia. 2cm) (J. Phys. Chem.B, 2004). He has discovered a new thermoreversible hydrogel of riboflavin - melamine supramolecular complex ( ³0.02%, w/v) through H-bonding  with enhanced photoluminescence property (Chem Comm. 2006) and ellucidated the mechanism of gelation (Langmuir, 2007) . Tailoring of morphology from fibre, tube and rod of riboflvine -melamine supramolecular gel has been made by changing the composition of supra molecular components (Chem Comm. 2008). A new two component hydrogel of melamine and gallic acid has been reported by the nominee with 2 order hike in PL intensity (Langmuir, 2009). AND molecular logic gate is fabricated from riboflavin and methyl cellulose using temperature and pH as inputs and enhanced photoluminescence as output by thermal gelation of methyl cellulose (Soft Matter, 2009). Some pH and temperature responsive hydrogels are recently discovered. (J. Phys. Chem B 2010, Soft Matter 2010) Using the dynamic nature of supramolecular organization,  melamine and mercury sensors are developed from the optical properties of Au  and Ag nanoparticles stabilized with riboflavin (Analyst  2011a, 2011b). Recently he has reported a pH and anion sensitive Ag(I) co-ordinated melamine hydrogel with dye absorbing property (J. Mater. Chem. (commun). 2011). A light harvesting hydrogel, working in a wide range of temperature and pH, of a two component supramolecular complex of melamine and 6, 7-dimethoxy-2, 4[1H, 3H]-quinazolinedione (donor) with riboflavin (acceptor) has been discovered(Chem. Commun., 2012). Folic acid-chitosan hybrid gel exhibits dramatic increase in fluorescence intensity, shear viscosity, strain recovery with dye and metal-ion absorbing property (J. Mater. Chem., 2012a). A co-assembled light harvesting hydrogel of melamine (M), 6, 7-dimethoxy-2, 4[1H, 3H]-quinazolinedione (Q) with riboflavin (R) is used to produce a white light emitting hydrogel (W-gel) by mixing with the dye rhodamine B (RhB) in a requisite proportion (Acs. Appl. Mater. and Interfaces, 2013b). 5,5'-(1,3,5,7-tetraoxopyrrolo[3,4-f]isoindole-2,6-diyl)diisophthalic acid (PMDIG), is used to produce supramolecular hydrogel via  acid-base treatment. The PMDIG PANI co-assembled hydrogel has 51 times higher storage modulus; 52 times higher elasticity; 1.4 times increase of stiffness and 5 times increase of fragility than those of PMDIG hydrogel. The PMDIG-PANI xerogel exhibits four order increase of dc-conductivity than that of PMDIG and the I-V characteristics curve exhibits rectification property under white light illumination showing photo-current rectification (Langmuir 2014)), Co-assembled folic acid (F) gel with aniline (ANI) (ANI: F =1:2, w/w) is produced at 3% (w/v) concentration in water / DMSO (1:1, v/v) mixture. The gel is rigid and on polymerization of the gel pieces in aqueous ammonium persulfate solution co-assembled folic acid - polyaniline (F-PANI) gel is formed. The dc-conductivity of F-ANI and F-PANI xerogels is 2 and 7 orders higher than that of F xerogel and  the current (I) – voltage (V) curves indicate that the F-xerogel is insulator, but F-ANI xerogel is semiconductor showing both electronic memory and rectification, on the other hand, the F-PANI xerogel exhibits a negative differential resistance (NDR) property (J.Phys.Chem B2014)

Polymer Nanocomposites: The nominee has developed novel nanocomposites (PNC) with highly improved storage modulus and thermal stability of poly(3-hexyl-thiophene,) (P3HT) and  montmorolinite clay. The conductivity of a PNC is same as that of P3HT in the undoped state, but at the iodine doped state PNC exhibits 3-fold increase in conductivity (Macromolecules,2004). An enhancement of photoluminescence efficiency of melt quenched PNCs of P3HT is observed (J. Phys. Chem B 2006). CdS-embedded nanowires of (J. Mater Sc. Lett. 2003) and polyaniline nanowires having very high aspect ratio (Synth. Metals, 2003) are prepared by him. Soluble poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT)- multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) nanocomposites (PCNCs) with interesting opto-electronic properties with a probable application in solar cells  are prepared by in-situ oxidative polymerization of 3-hexyl thiophene in a dispersion of MWNT(Macromolecules, 2007b). Gel nanocomposites (GNCs) of polyaniline (PANI)- dinonylnaphthalene disulphonic acid (DNNDSA) with excellent mechanical and conductivity properties are prepared by mixing of organically modified montmorillonite (om-MMT) clay during the PANI – DNNDSA gel preparation (Macromolecules, 2006b). P3HT-silver nanoparticle composites show a sharp increase in current at a threshold voltage, though hexadecyl amine capped Ag nanoparticles thin film exhibits switching characteristics, promising the use of the nanocomposites as  efficient light emitting diode than that of pure P3HT (Chem. Mater., 2007) .  The nominee has used ester (-COOC2H5) functionalized MWNT to prepare PVDF- MWNT nanocomposites  which shows memory effect while the use of unfunctionalized  MWNT do not exhibit any memory effect (J. Phys.Chem.C., 2007). Reducing property of a organically soluble conducting polymer [poly(o-methoxyaniline), POMA] is used to prepare mono-dispersed, size controlled, highly populated and highly stable silver nanoparticles in organic medium through an interfacial redox process with aqueous AgNO3 solution(Langmuir 2007). Tailor made synthesis of Ag nanoparticles of three different sizes and different densities are made by the nominee and observed different current-voltage (I-V) behaviour (switching& rectification) in the thin films of POMA-Ag nanocomposites depending on size and density of nanoparticles (J. Mater. Chem.,2009). He has grown different shape Au NPs through an interfacial redox process using POMA (Langmuir,  2010) and also Aucore-Agshell  bimetallic NPs (J. Colloid & Interface Science , 2010).  Recently  he has made poly(methyl methacrylate) -functionalized graphene (MG) from graphene oxide (GO), using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and prepared nanocomposites with  PVDF forming the piezoelectric polymorph with dramatic enhancement of mechanical property and conductivity (Polymer 2010). He is the first to observe dendritic morphology in the nanocomposites of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with  sulphonated graphene (SG) showing 1005% increase in storage modulus and 10order increase in conductivity over PVA(Carbon 2012b). A new compatibilizer containing thiophene moiety and poly(dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) group of MWNT is mixed with PVDF showing highest conductivity and mechanical property in the series (J. Phys. Chem. C, 2012).  The nominee is first to report that in acidic medium graphene oxide emits blue light that increases on adding methyl cellulose, sensing nitro-aromatics by instantaneous photoluminescence quenching (J. Mater. Chem. 2012c). Reversible addition and fragmentation (RAFT) polymerization of vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) from the graphene oxide (GO) is made to produce the GO-g-PVP (GP) and its composite with poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) exhibit 190% increase in Young’s modulus & 169% increase in tensile strength than pure  PVAc  (J. Mater. Chem.A 2013b). Polypyrrole (PPy) - zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposites prepared by polymerizing pyrrole in varying amount of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in a lauric acid (LA) – cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) coacervate gel templateproduces (nanochannel) morphology and fabrication of a  dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) with the composite exhibit a power conversion efficiency η = 2.53 % (.J. Mater. Chem.A 2013a).  Replacement of TiO2 layer of traditional dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) by poly [3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2, 5-thienylene] grafted reduced graphene oxide (PHET-g-rGO) yields with the N-719 dye an overall power conversion efficiency of 3.06%  (Chem Commun, 2013). Poly(N,N’-dimethylaminoethyl methacraylate) (PDMAEMA) functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization followed by its attachment with rGO via diazonium coupling. Raman spectra indicates p-type doping at pH 4 and n type doping at pH9. ( J. Mater. Chem. A 2014)

 Biomolecular Hybrids and Nanobiocomposites: The immobilization of DNA on conducting polymers is a frontier area of research to find applications in DNA diagnostics and gene therapy. The nominee successfully immobilized DNA in the intact form for the first time on a conducting polymer, poly(o-methoxy aniline) (POMA) (Macromol. Biosci.2005) and poly(3-thiophene acetic acid) (Langmuir 2010). The DNA-conducting polymer complex exhibits a conductivity of 10-7 S/cm, which is higher by five orders than that of DNA (, Macromolecules 2005) and DNA surface is acting as a scafold for the conformational change of POMA (Langmuir, 2006). An approximate model of POMA(ES)-NaDNA system indicates nano-structured self-organized assembly of the components in the hybrid (J.Phys. Chem.C, 2007). Recently, the nominee has immobilized RNA on POMA surface and it shows three orders higher conductivity than that of RNA promising its use to develop biosensor. (Biophys. Chem. 2009).  The nominee discovered the term ‘nanojacketting’ in POMA-RNA-Ag system in the POMA rich hybrid as the fibrils become coated with metallic Ag with ~5nm thickness and it exhibits rectification property.(Langmuir, 2010, Highlighted in Nature India: doi: 10.1038/nindia.2010.53). POMA-Au NP system generates new photoluminescence property when excited at 500 nm and PL intensity increases abruptly with addition of RNA in the hybrid and would be useful for developing RNA sensor (J. Mater. Chem., 2010). Polyaniline sulfonic acid (PSA) / RNA/ Au nanobiocomposite exhibits a large enhancement of PL-intensity and negative differential resistance suitable for important optoelectronic application.(Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2011, Highlighted in Nature India, Doi:10.1038/nindia.2011.124). Sulfonated  graphene and graphene oxide are used as ethidium bromide binding platform, to preferentially sense DNA amongst the other biomolecules like  RNA, bovine serum albumin, and glucose, using spectroscopic techniques (Biomacromolecules 2012). Vitamin B2 is detected in a simple way using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from sulfonated graphene (Acs. Appl. Mater. & Interfaces 2013). A facile approach of nanojacketing DNA in intact conformation is evolved by the in-situ polymerization of o-methoxyaniline (OMA) at 300 C using HAuCl4 ions as oxidant and DNA as a soft template Digestion of the nanojacketed system with saturated iodine solution dejackets the ds-DNA with retention of its conformation leaving the POMA nanotube..( J. Phys. Chem.B 118, (2014)
