About
Nandakumar Kalarikkal is a leading researcher in the field of advanced materials, with a particular focus on electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, sustainable e-textiles, and polymer nanocomposites. His work addresses the pressing global challenge of electromagnetic pollution by developing eco-friendly, high-performance shielding materials. Kalarikkal’s major contributions include pioneering the use of natural fibers—such as jute—impregnated with conductive polymers like polypyrrole to create biodegradable, microwave-absorbing textiles. His 2022 study on “Electromagnetic Attenuation Performance of Sustainable e-Textile Derived from Polypyrrole Impregnated Jute Fabrics” (7 citations) exemplifies his commitment to merging environmental sustainability with cutting-edge materials science. By demonstrating that natural fiber-based composites can achieve predominant microwave absorption, Kalarikkal has opened new avenues for green electronics and wearable technology. His research is highly impactful, offering scalable solutions for reducing EM pollution while promoting circular economy principles. Kalarikkal’s work is widely recognized for its innovation and practical relevance, making him a key figure in the development of next-generation, environmentally benign EMI shielding materials.
