The Researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) have developed a safety warning system based on the piezoelectric polymer nano composites.
This nanocomposite material can be useful for pressure sensing and energy harvesting applications.
The metal oxide nanomaterials with the suitable crystal structure and surface properties when used as fillers in polymer composites significantly enhance the piezoelectric response.
Researchers synthesized two zirconia-based metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66 and UiO-67).
