About
Hemalatha Parangusan is a leading researcher in the development of advanced polymer nanocomposites for energy harvesting and self-powering devices. Her work primarily focuses on piezoelectric and dielectric materials, with a particular emphasis on stretchable polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) systems. In her highly cited 2018 study, Parangusan pioneered the use of iron-doped ZnO nanoflowers within PVDF matrices, demonstrating that γ-irradiation treatment significantly enhances the electroactive β-phase crystallinity of the polymer. This breakthrough led to substantially improved dielectric and piezoelectric properties, enabling the creation of flexible, self-powering devices. Her research has garnered considerable attention, with this key paper alone accumulating 95 citations, underscoring its impact on the field of smart materials and energy harvesting. Parangusan’s innovative approach to combining nanofiller engineering with post-processing techniques has opened new pathways for designing robust, high-performance wearable electronics and sensors. Her contributions are particularly notable for advancing the practical application of stretchable nanocomposites in self-powered systems, making her a prominent figure in sustainable energy materials research.
