About
Dr. P. Nagachandrika is a materials and robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of soft robotics and advanced dielectric composites. Her most-cited paper, "Characterization of Silicone Rubber/MgO Nanocomposites for Grippers in Transmission Line Inspection Robots" (2022, 6 citations), explores how adding magnesium oxide nanoparticles to silicone rubber enhances the material's mechanical and dielectric properties for use in robotic grippers. This work is critical for developing safer, more reliable inspection robots for high-voltage transmission lines. Dr. Nagachandrika’s research focuses on tailoring polymer nanocomposites—combining silicone rubber and polylactic acid (PLA)—to achieve the flexibility, strength, and electrical insulation needed for demanding field applications. Her contributions are particularly notable for bridging materials science with practical robotics, addressing real-world challenges in infrastructure maintenance. With a growing citation record, Dr. Nagachandrika is establishing herself as a key voice in the development of smart materials for next-generation robotic systems.
