Rasiah Ladchumananandsaivam
Areas Rasiah Ladchumananandsaivam is Knowledgeable in:
Material science - recycling of fibrous waste materials for the manufacture of composites. Bionanomaterials, incorporation of new characteristics to textile materials - anibacterial, hydrophobic, antifungal, anti-UV, etc.
Techniques Rasiah Ladchumananandsaivam Uses:
Recycling and new mathods of using waste fibrous materials (PALF -pineapple leaf fibres) - meetings with the people involved (farmers), training on how to collect collect the leaves, method of extraction using the decorticator, preparation of the fibres, manufacture of composites materials.
Plastic wastes: meeitngs with trash collectors, orientation and organisation to form a group to transform the collected materials into new products. Also making films from nanobiomaterials for filtering
