About

Bhanu Bhusan Khatua is a leading materials scientist whose research focuses on developing advanced polymer composites and nanomaterials for smart electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, energy harvesting, and energy storage. His most significant contributions lie in creating bio-inspired and stimuli-responsive composite architectures that can dynamically control EMI shielding in real time. For instance, his work on thermally tunable ethanol-impregnated PDMS/CoZTO/SWCNT composites (15 citations) and bio-inspired smart composite architectures (20 citations) demonstrates how shape-memory elastomers can be externally stimulated to protect high-end electronics in military, aerospace, and robotics applications. Khatua has also pioneered integrated piezo-electrochemical systems, such as a piezo-powered self-chargeable supercapacitor (15 citations) that simultaneously harvests, stores, and controls EMI shielding—a breakthrough for medical and satellite communications. More recently, he has explored natural materials, developing a piezoelectric nanogenerator and separator from *Mimosa pudica* seeds for high-performance supercapacitors (3 citations). With over 50 citations across his most-cited works, Khatua’s research is shaping the next generation of intelligent, multifunctional materials for advanced electronics and defense technologies.
