About
Majharul Haque Khan is a materials scientist whose pioneering work lies at the intersection of two-dimensional nanomaterials and smart hydrogels. His most impactful contribution, the development of edge-hydroxylated boron nitride nanosheets, has fundamentally advanced the thermal responsiveness of soft materials. In his landmark 2015 study, cited over 288 times, Khan demonstrated that flowing hot steam over hexagonal boron nitride powder simultaneously exfoliates and hydroxylates the nanosheets. This elegant, scalable method produces nanosheets that, through enhanced hydrogen bonding with water and N-isopropylacrylamide, dramatically improve the dimensional change and dye release kinetics of hydrogels upon heating. The work bridges a critical gap between inorganic nanomaterials and polymer science, offering a practical route to designing thermally responsive systems for drug delivery and soft actuators. Khan’s research continues to influence the development of functional nanocomposites, where precise control over interfacial chemistry unlocks new performance in stimuli-responsive materials. His contributions have established him as a key figure in the engineering of advanced hybrid materials for biomedical and environmental applications.
