About
Susobhan Das is a materials scientist whose research sits at the exciting intersection of crystal engineering and mechanical property design. His most impactful work focuses on unlocking metal-like ductility in organic plastic crystals—a field that challenges the conventional wisdom that molecular crystals are inherently brittle. In his highly cited 2020 study, Das demonstrated that by carefully tuning molecular shape and exploiting dihydrogen bonding interactions in aminoboranes, organic crystals can exhibit exceptional, omnidirectional ductility and malleability, properties typically reserved for metals. This breakthrough, which has garnered over 125 citations across related publications, provides a fundamental design principle for creating flexible, processable organic materials. Das’s contributions are particularly notable for revealing how subtle intermolecular interactions can dramatically alter macroscopic mechanical behavior, opening new avenues for organic electronics and flexible devices. His work stands as a landmark in the field of adaptive molecular crystals, offering a clear roadmap for engineering soft, durable materials from small organic molecules.
