This recycling firm collaborates with DEAL-DRDO, IIT Delhi for development of nano composites

Recyling firm Vikas Lifecare has entered into a strategic collaboration with the Defence Electronic Applications Laboratory (DEAL), a premier laboratory under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Dehradun, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi, and the CSIR-National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL), Delhi for development of Nano Composites. 

This partnership aims to advance the development of Nano composites for EMI shielding applications, targeting a broad range of commercial, military, scientific electronic devices, and communication instruments. To formalize this collaboration, a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) has been signed between all parties involved.

Objective of the Collaboration

The primary objective of this NDA is to design and develop advanced carbon fiber and MWCNT/graphene nano ferrites composites specifically for EMI shielding applications. The focus will be on:

1. Design and Development:

- Creation of nano composites using exfoliated graphite blended with MWCNT in a polymer matrix or carbon fibers polymer composites.

- Incorporation of Ag nanoparticles and Copper nanoparticles to enhance the electrical and thermal conductivity of the composites.

2. Optimization:

 - Fine-tuning processing and material parameters to ensure the production of viable, high-performance nano composite products.

3. Applications:

- Development of materials for use in a wide array of commercial, military, and scientific electronic devices and communication instruments.
