College Research Profile

Research Centres

Chemistry

Since the Chemistry department has been successfully running the Post-Graduate course in Organic Chemistry since 2009 it was eligible for the grant of research centre under Rani Channamma University (RCU), Belagavi. Accordingly, the department was recognized as the research centre in July 2021. Presently the department is having two laboratories under the research centre as shown below.

1. Physical and Polymer Chemistry laboratory

2. Organic and Inorganic Chemistry laboratory

Research Labs

Physics

Lab 1: Nanomaterials Research Laboratory

The Nanomaterials Research Laboratory, set up on the 1st floor of laboratory building, has the following facilities:
● AC facilities to maintain constant ambient temperature and dust free atmosphere.
● Ultrasonic cleaner –,u/s frequency: 33 ± 3 khz.
● Spin Coater with Digital speed meter & timer, Max. Speed:16000 RPM.
● Magnetic stirrer with hot plate with digital speed indicator.
● Heavy duty plumbing facilities to dispose chemical effluents.


Lab 2. Nano Research Laboratory

The Nano Research laboratory is housed on the 2nd floor of laboratory building equipped with some high end instruments like
● Electronic microbalance: this can weigh materials precisely to the order of micrograms.
● Muffle furnace.
● Conductivity measurement apparatus at different temperatures.
● pH meter.
● Heater with magnetic stirrer.
