About
Susanta Banerjee is a leading figure in polymer science and materials chemistry, renowned for pioneering the development of advanced elastomers and high-performance polymeric membranes. His most impactful work introduces a transformative route to creating highly stretchable and soft inorganic–organic hybrid elastomers, as detailed in his highly cited 2021 paper (16 citations). By using aminopropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (AT-PDMS) as a crosslinker for epoxidized natural rubber (ENR), Banerjee bypasses conventional sulfur or peroxide methods, yielding materials with exceptional flexibility and durability. This innovation bridges the gap between organic rubber and inorganic silicones, opening new avenues for soft robotics, biomedical devices, and flexible electronics. Beyond elastomers, Banerjee’s broader contributions encompass the design of gas separation membranes, where his work on polyimides and polymer blends has advanced CO₂ capture and hydrogen purification technologies. With a citation record reflecting sustained influence, his research is celebrated for merging fundamental polymer chemistry with practical, scalable solutions. Banerjee’s achievements underscore his role as a catalyst for next-generation, multifunctional materials that address critical challenges in sustainability and advanced manufacturing.
