ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I express my sincere gratitude to National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi that has conferred on me the privilege to pragmatically convert my theoretical knowledge into practicably valuable experience. All that I have acquired would not have been possible without the kind expertise and guidance bestowed on us by Dr. Gopal Bhatia, Scientist ‘G’ & Head, Carbon Technology Unit, National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi-110012 interacting with whom has been a unique experience. I pay special gratitude to Dr (Mrs.) Vasantha Raman, Ex-Scientist ‘F’ & Advisor, Carbon Technology Unit, National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi for her invaluable help, technical guidance and encouragement. I shall always remain indebted to National Physical Laboratory for their generous and cordial ways of dealing with student trainees.I would also like to thank Mr. P.R. Sengupta for his kind and timely advices throughout the course of our project. I also express thank to Ms. Mandeep Kaur and Mr. Anil Kumar for the knowledge provided throughout our training. This training would not have been successful without the help of engineers and workers in the division. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. R.S Bisht, Mr. T.S Negi, Mr. Deepak Semwal, Mr. Sandeep Kumar, Mr. Rajeev Kumar, Mr. P.S Subramanium, and Mr. P.L Pundora for their support and valuable help without which my project would have never been completed.
