Emerging Applications of Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene (PDF)

Dr. Bhanu Pratap Singh received M.Tech (Chemical Engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India and from Indian Institute of Technology; Delhi, India on "Studies on Carbon Nanotubes based Epoxy Composites". After completing M.Tech, he joined CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi as Scientist B in 2004. Presently, he is Senior Principal Scientist and deputy Head in Advanced Carbon Products Section of Advanced Materials and Devices Division and Professor in Academy of Scientific and Industrial Research (AcSIR). Dr. Singh's has more than 18 years of research experience on development of Advanced Carbon Products. His research interest is on large scale synthesis of carbon nanostructures and their advanced nanocomposites for structural applications, anode materials for Li-ion batteries, efficient EMI shielding materials and ballistic materials. He has carried out exhaustive studies on mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of MWCNTs and graphene based polymer composites. Presently he is focusing on establishment of continuous process for the preparation of oriented CNT fiber/yarn and sheets for personal armour applications. Dr. Singh teaches the Masters and Ph.D. students in AcSIR. More than thirty students have done their dissertation work for their M.Tech/M.Sc/B.Tech degree under his supervision/co-supervision. He has also supervised three PhD students and currently eight PhD students are working under him.
