Hey, welcome again! I know you long to know about my research interests , and why I am so passionate about it. Well, being a constant reader and follower of my blog, I think you deserve to know. Basically, I am interested in exploring and exploiting the performance characteristics of biochar with bio-oil derived from pyrolysis/co-pyrolysis of biomass , as well as the co-pyrolysis of biomass with specific synthetic polymers. You might be wondering- what is biochar, and why is it important ? I have so much to discuss about it, but not this week. However, I would give a preamble to this. Biochar is a solid carbonaceous material produced by pyrolysis of biomass in an oxygen-deficient environment. In the long or short run, I will have to make use of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) which happens to be my favorite analytical instrument .
