    Abstract:

Applications: A novel synthetic strategy has been developed to design and synthesize a unique class of bio-inspired synthetic sequence-defined polymers (SDP). This new class of SDP has strategically been designed with an important functional group, dithiocarbamate, which has been reported to be an excellent candidate for various applications in material sciences (e.g. heavy metal sensor and vulcanizing accelerators in rubber industries) and biomedical sciences (e.g. antibacterial agents, anticancer agents and agrochemicals including pesticides, fungicides, insecticides). The strategy will allow one to design and synthesize manmade materials with massive chemical diversity and tunable structure and properties for making them the best fit for a given application. Some of this class of materials have shown the ability to detect mercury (II) selectively which is a continuing trouble in many villages as well as industrial areas. Based on this class of materials, a novel class antibacterial drug is in the process of development which will pave the way to encounter the threat from bacterial infection. Taken together this new class of materials and the methodology for synthesizing those will definitely benefit the health and improve the livelihood status of the people and serve the society.
Advantages: This strategy is support-free eliminating the requirement of any support and also free from stepwise purification and external stimuli. This strategy also holds absolute control over monomeric sequence on SDP backbone. The strategy is efficient, fast, economic, scalable, support-free and protection deprotection chemistry free. This novel method works under eco-friendly manner since only HCl gas is produced which can be effectively neutralized by bicarbonate in the medium. Hence no hazardous waste is liberated and making the system eco-friendly. Dithiocarbamate based SDP is a new addition to SDP family and holds huge opportunity for material and biomedical applications due to the dithiocarbamate group. The synthetic strategy, characterization, versatility of functional group incorporation, modular post-synthetic modifications of this novel class of SDP makes the full system very efficient and applicable.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
