Background

About Ajay Kumar Tyagi

Forty years of research experience in the fields of organic / polymeric synthesis, modification, application and processing. The specialized discipline of organic chemistry integrated with the experience of polymer science has graduated me as a material scientist capable of designing and developing new materials of industrial significance. During the period, I have worked on synthesis of naturally occurring coumarin derivatives as bioactive compounds, polyglycolic acid / polylactic acid and their copolymers with caprolactone for suture application, styrene – butadiene – styrene triblock copolymer and its modification to environmentally stable hydrogenated SEBS, pyruvic acid based Super Absorbent Polymers. Also, perfluorinated lubricating oil from hexafluoro propylene as radiation resistant materials, polyurethane based perm selective membranes may be highlighted as the areas of experience in the field of polymer synthesis.Besides the polymer synthesis, processes for the modification of guar to its ethoxylated, propoxylated, methylated, carboxymethylated and sulphonated derivatives were developed for health care, pharmaceutical and oil drilling applications. The grafting of guar and its hydrophobic modifications may also be referred as areas of interest.During the tenure, I have been associated with numerous R&D as well as consultancy projects related to organic molecule synthesis involving packman condensation, benzhydrlylation, benzylation, esterification, etherification, halogenation, hydrogenation, cyclic dimerization, polycondensation, block co-polymerization; polymer modification, processing and characterization; natural and synthetic fibre spinning, specialty fibre characterization and their processing; formulations for paper and jute fabric adhesives.Apart from the above, the salient contributions towards industrial process/products may be highlighted as- Arrest of filamentation in rayon process- UV curable wood coating- Country position on ethanol for transportation sector in India- Ionizing radiation for conversion of biomass into ethanol- Glycolide - Caprolactone monofilament suture- Fluorinated polymers for strategic applications- Technology Business IncubationWhile studying on lab, pilot and plant scale, characterization was takenup for physico-mechanical, chemical, rheological, thermal properties etc of synthetic and natural materials as per national/internation standards.You are welcome to join us to have a fun to start or scaleup your dream business and do it till you like to serve with no bottomline of retirement.
