Magnetic Nanoparticles and Polymer Nanocomposites

Dr. Imran Khan is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, at Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman. Formerly, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Process and Product Applied Thermodynamics (PATh), in the associated laboratory CICECO (Center for Research in Ceramics & Composite Materials), Dept. of Chemistry, University of Aveiro, Portugal. His areas of research include solution chemistry, the thermophysical behavior of pure liquids and liquid mixtures with ionic liquids, surfactant and polymers, and extraction and separation using Ionic liquids. Dr. Khan has worked as a visiting scientist for three months in the Department of Chemistry, at the University of Delhi, India where he studied the effect of polymers on Ionic liquid solutions funded by FCT Portugal to expand collaboration between India and Portugal. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Universiti Sains Malaysia, from 2011 to 2013, he worked on the effect of fillers on pressure sensitive adhesives and published many research articles.
