Acquainting with technical and teoritical knowldege together with skills in the molecular functionalization and composite system of areas in natural (polysaccharide) and synthetic (polyolefin) derived of polymers. The previous research projects was concerned on physical and chemical modifications of polymers with the main objective to enchane its parent properties on mechanical, thermal, solubility, degradability, selectivity and  adsorption ability. The interfacial, rigidity and homogeneity of the modified polymer is the major considerations in order to meet the potential application as the membrane separation of organic pollutants. The outcomes of this projects is knowledge and methodology on molecular modification of chitosan (as a model of polymer) through cross-linking process as a reinforcement agents to increase the said properties of polymer composites. 14 numbers of ISI journals including one review paper has been managed to be published through out the research project. Currently,  looking for the new research opportunities to functionalize the nano based materials (metal oxide based, carbon based, metal etc) with polymer materials in order to increase the functionality, dispersion ability, homogeneity and resistancy of the nano materials. Initiated with research project on band gap re-engineering approach of nano-particle TiO2 with various organic dopants (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) and chitosan as a support for photoctalyst system on the application of organic pollutants degradation. It is expected that, modified nano-particle TiO2 could be utilize satisfactory in both ultra-violet and visible light, seperatible effectively from the suspension of pollutant mixture, highly selectivity, and re-cycleable. The polymer fucntionalize nano-particle project is then continue to the second project; with nano-particle Fe3O4 coated with polycarboxylic, polyamine and polyol based. The main objective of the project is to modulate the composition, size and magnetic properties of nano-particle Fe3O4 as a metal detectable agent for the nitrile glove formulation. While, the third current project is focused on the thermal and magnetitie properties of nano-particle Fe3O4/Au as a anti-cancer agent. Nano-coated Fe3O4/Au with chitosan and ethylene cellulose for colon drug delivery system is expected to minimize the limitations on premature drug release, poor translation of biorecognition propertyand inffective colon targetting.
