Coimbatore: A Bannari Amman Institute of Technology (Bit) student, who won the third prize in the contest of the ‘Defense Research and Defense Development Innovation (DrDO)’ Daring to Dream 2.0 ‘to formulate a composite Bio-retard-based epoxy resin can minimize victims during aircraft accidents, receive RS 3 RS Gift Money from Defense Minister UNI Rajnath Singh At an event held in New Delhi in October 4.Drdo has launched an innovation contest at the 5th commemoration of the former President Apj Abdul Kalam.
Nor Pravin, a IIIird student of BTECH Biotechnology, which Registered in bioprocess and special Bio Laboratory products, submit proposals under the domain of material and technology problems for Fire Protection Suppression.
Of the 65,000 individual participants, he cleared three rounds to receive the third prize.
As 284 deaths were reported due to aircraft accidents in India in 2019, Pravin said.
“After analyzing the reasons for fire accidents and aircraft accidents, it was found that increasing the backwardness of composite fires could reduce the severity of the accident,” he said.
Composite which is significantly available contains petroleum-based products that are burned to high temperatures.
He uses nano particles obtained from natural resources as Retardan API.
It was also approved by the jury from the Drdo contest for proposal submission under the Technology Development Development Scheme (TDF) for funds up to RS 10 Crore.Pravin was guided by R Ravi Kumar, M KiPupa Sankar and Vimalarasan, Faculty, Faculty of Bioprocess special lab fees and bioproduk .
“For fireproof properties, it uses nano particles obtained from natural resources and includes the fire resistant nanooparticles to the natural fiber composite, thus making all biocompatible and biodegradable products.
Because this is a new idea, it meets the requirements for patents too,” Ravi said.
