Tahrima B. Rouf's research focuses on biodegradable polymers and nanocomposite materials, especially plant-based proteins like zein and kafirin, for applications in food packaging, drug delivery, and biosensors. Earlier work centered on combining these biopolymers with materials like graphene oxide and clay nanoparticles (Laponite) to improve mechanical strength, barrier properties, and thermal stability of films. More recent publications shift toward reviewing nanomaterials for biosensing and drug delivery, as well as studies on social media's role in engineering education.
