Convective Preheating Enhances Front Propagation in DCPD Frontal Polymerization
M Vijay Kumar, Saujatya Mandal, Siddhant Jain +2
Frontal polymerization (FP) enables rapid curing of thermosets via a self-sustaining thermal wave, but its propagation mechanism can shift dramatically depending on processing cond…

Twist-Free Enhancement of Strength and Modulus in Electrospun Yarns via Liquid-Assisted Capillary Densification
Saujatya Mandal, Sonu Dhiman, Debashish Das
Electrospun yarns often fall short of the strength and stiffness of their constituent nanofibers because of loose packing and inter-fiber slip. We report a simple, twist-free route…

Texture- and Stress-Dependent Electromechanical Response in Ferroelectric PZT: Insights from a Micromechanical Model
Saujatya Mandal, Debashish Das
The electromechanical response of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is strongly influenced by crystallographic texture and residual stress, both of…
