About
Surojit Bhunia is a leading researcher in the field of organic crystal engineering, with a particular focus on designing mechanically adaptive molecular materials. His most significant contribution lies in demonstrating that certain organic plastic crystals can exhibit metal-like ductility and malleability—a property once thought impossible for molecular solids. In his highly cited 2020 work, Bhunia revealed how the molecular shape and dihydrogen bonding interactions in aminoboranes enable these crystals to bend and deform plastically in multiple directions, rather than fracturing like typical brittle organics. This breakthrough challenges long-held assumptions about the mechanical limits of organic crystals and opens new avenues for flexible electronics and soft robotics. With over 128 citations across his key papers, Bhunia’s research has rapidly gained attention for bridging fundamental supramolecular chemistry with materials science. His work is notable not only for its conceptual novelty but also for its practical implications, offering a blueprint for designing ductile organic solids that mimic the mechanical versatility of metals.
