About
Sujan Ghosh is a materials scientist whose research focuses on bioinspired surface engineering, soft elastomers, and tribology—the study of friction, wear, and lubrication. His most notable contribution is the development of snakeskin-inspired elastomers that achieve an extremely low coefficient of friction under dry conditions, a breakthrough published in 2020. This work directly addresses a critical limitation of soft elastomers, which typically suffer from high friction due to adhesion and internal energy loss, hindering their use in applications like soft robotics where liquid lubricants are impractical. By mimicking the hierarchical surface architecture of snakeskin, Ghosh’s design enables low-friction, low-wear performance in dry environments, opening new possibilities for durable, self-lubricating soft materials. His research has garnered 19 citations for this key paper, reflecting its growing influence in the fields of biomimetics and polymer engineering. Ghosh’s work stands out for its elegant translation of a natural solution into a practical engineering material, offering a path toward more efficient, longer-lasting soft robotic components and biomedical devices.
