  I am actively involved in the following works:  Electrodeposition of polyaniline coating on mild steel for superhydrophobic application. A simple facile approach has been used to achieve the water contact angle of >1500 with rolling superhydrophobic surface on polyaniline coated mild steel specimen.  Polypyrrole coated flexible electrodes for supercapacitor and battery applications. Oxidative polymerized polypyrrole coated cost-effective flexible electrodes were successfully prepared from different materials like A4 sheet, tea bag, cotton cloth, green and dry leaves etc. This could be a novel and cost-effective electrode material for energy storage device like supercapacitors.  Composite coating for the multi-functional application. Highly corrosion resistant novel carbon nano onion (CNO) based composite coating has been developed with impedance value > 1010 Ωcm2 in 3.5 % NaCl solution. It has exhibited excellent corrosion inhibition during long term immersion in the corrosive medium. Cenosphere and hallow carbon nano sphere-based composite coatings being developed for radiative day time cooling application.  Oil pipeline corrosion/scale inhibitor Green corrosion inhibitors to be developed for reducing the interfacial tension and corrosion resistance of gasoline pipelines.
