Dr Titash Mondal’s group advances elastomer-based functional materials with a strong emphasis on sustainability, sensors, and energy-harvesting devices. Their recent work blends fundamental polymer/nanocarbon science with device-level engineering to deliver printable, recyclable, and bio-inspired solutions for flexible electronics and self-powered sensing. The group has pioneered the use of natural rubber and NR-based composites as low-carbon triboelectric materials. Notable contributions include graphene-infused NR TENGs for real-time human motion monitoring and NR formulations enhanced with cellulose/activated carbon to significantly boost power output — illustrating a pathway to greener, high-performance TENGs. These studies couple compositional tuning (graphene, CNFs, activated carbon) with device engineering to optimize charge generation and practical applicability.
Dr Mondal’s outputs target two crosscutting needs: (1) reducing the environmental footprint of flexible electronics by replacing petroleum-derived polymers with sustainable elastomers (natural rubber) and biomass-derived additives, and (2) enabling practical, printable sensor/energy-harvesting technologies for wearables, health-monitoring, and automotive applications. Publications in journals such as Small and collaborative device demonstrations indicate strong translational momentum.
