ABOUT
I pursued my masters in physics with a specialisation in condensed matter and material science from Ramakrishna Mission Residential College, Narendrapur (19th rank NIRF 2022) with first class and started my research career under Dr. Sourav Chattopadhyay with DSSCs ( Dye Synthesized Solar Cells) in RKMRC. After a short stint with solar cells I joined Institute of Nano Science and Technology, Mohali under Dr. A.K.Basu in the quantum Devicing and materials unit where I was a part of the different projects :
1. Fabrication and synthesis of a novel nanocomposite for gas sensing purposes
2. synthesis and characterization of a novel ternary Heterojunction material for photocatalysis
3.Fabrication of a 3D printed microdevice
which I continued till January 2023. later I re-joined Dr. Chattopadhyay's Lab and continued working on:
1. Heterojunction based perovskite solar cell and their related study.
2. Fabrication of a sweat based biosensor.
Right now I am working as an Joint PhD research scholar at IIT BOMBAY - MONASH UNIVERSITY on the topic of influence of 2D nanomaterials in polymer matrices and its associated physical and morphological study along with applications based on nanopeizoelectry and Nano ferroelectricity and possible devicing outcomes thus being a part of the Polymer Engineering and Sciences (PES) Lab and Research Group.
ABSTRACT
In the present era, the development of flexible nanogenerators with outstanding performance, portability, and sustainable energy conversion efficiency is of the utmost importance. The flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator is at present a promising option because of its exceptional mechanical qualities, good environmental versatility, and high energy harvesting efficiency. It can be incorporated with wireless sensors and personal electronics to realise sustainable energy for long-term operation. In that field of endeavour, piezo-polymers are an emerging material in the competitive marketplace due to their low cost, minimal manufacturing difficulty, and flexibility. One of the most extensively researched and economically feasible piezoelectric polymers is poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). PVDF is a semicrystalline polymer that exhibits five distinct crystalline polymorphs, namely α, β, γ, δ and ε. Among these, the β and γ polymorphs are the polar or electroactive phases due to their high net dipole moment per unit volume. To exploit the maximum potential of PVDF for ferroelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric applications, the polar phases (β and/or γ) of PVDF need to be enhanced, as they exhibit higher piezoelectric coefficients. To enhance the fraction of the polar phase in PVDF, a variety of techniques, such as stretching, annealing, and poling, have been used. It has also been reported that adding fillers to PVDF is a successful and feasible way to induce the polar phase. My work focuses on the effect of adding 2D nanomaterials to the PVDF matrix upon the ferroelectric and piezoelectric characteristics of PVDF nanocomposites along with detailed investigation of the associated mechanical, rheological, and piezoelectric properties with subsequent sensor and device fabrication for greater sustainability and industrial purposes.
