"Bio-based functional materials"
Welcome to the official website
of Prof. Aji Mathew´s group:
In Aji Mathew´s lab, we have a vision to develop bio-based functional materials with special focus on green and environmental-friendly processes. The group has extensive know-how on biobased nanocomposites, membranes, foams and hydrogels for water purification, biomedical and photocatalytic activity applications.
