  Novel Strategic Framework for AI-Driven Discovery and Development of Smart and Sustainable Polymers in Healthcare

  By Ritam Saha, Krishnendu Ghosh, Sudip Basu, Indrajit Ghosal, Nilanjan Ray, Ritam Rajak

  Abstract: The development of new smart and sustainable polymers is emerging as a priority of new health care innovative development, but event before it may be actualized, the usual culprit is the delay and unproductive execution of the old-fashioned R&D efforts. The current paper proposes a strategic plan which will solve all these shortcomings and speed up the material discovery process by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The …

  A Generative AI Paradigm for a Global Crisis: Redesigning the Sanitary Pad Polymer Lifecycle for Environmental and Public Health in India

  By Ritam Rajak, Eshani Sadhukhan, Tanmoy Majumder, Piyali Roy Chowdhury, Indrajit Ghosal, Nilanjan Ray, Sudip Basu

  Abstract: The sale of disposable sanitary pads, most of which contain non-biodegradable polymers, especially polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and superabsorbent polyacrylates (SAPs), has led to a souring environmental and population health crisis, especially in India. A linear economic approach of take-make-dispose has resulted in the exponential growth of polymer waste that fully blocks drains, leads to microplastic pollution, and overloads insufficient waste management facilities. Traditional polymers are designed to be permanent …
