Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is proud to announce a groundbreaking research project, “Wear Analysis of Polymer,” led by Dr. Shubrajit Bhaumik, a distinguished Associate Professor at the Amrita School of Engineering, Chennai.

This innovative study aims to delve into the intricate mechanisms of polymer wear, a critical factor in the performance and lifespan of various products. By understanding how polymers degrade over time, researchers can develop more durable and reliable materials for applications ranging from automotive components to medical devices.

For instance, the team will investigate the wear behavior of polymer gears used in automotive transmissions. By analyzing the wear patterns and mechanisms, researchers can identify potential areas for improvement, such as optimizing lubricant formulations or modifying polymer compositions.

Additionally, the study may expand to explore the wear resistance of polymer implants in the human body. By understanding how these materials interact with biological tissues, researchers can develop implants with longer lifespans and reduced risk of failure.

Through rigorous experimentation and advanced analysis techniques, Dr. Bhaumik and his team are committed to pushing the boundaries of polymer science and engineering.
