Structure Property Correlation of Polymer Dielectrics Using Electrical Response Data
Abstract: Polymer dielectrics are foundational to insulation, capacitors, embedded passives, and flexible electronics, where performance is governed by the frequency-dependent electrical response rather than a single dielectric constant. This study presents a spectroscopy-aware structure–property correlation framework that transforms dielectric response data into physically interpretable spectral fingerprints and learns mappings from polymer descriptors to these fingerprints for prediction and interpretation. Broadband spectra are standardized on a log-frequency grid and parameterized using relaxation-informed …

Smart Drug Delivery Using Nanorobots
Abstract: In recent years, the field of micro/nanorobot research has gained popularity. Because it can be used in targeted medication distribution, surgical procedures, disease detection, etc., it has enormous promise in medical therapy. Different from conventional medication delivery, which depends on blood flow to drug delivery to difficult-to-reach locations is made possible by the planned micro/nanorobots' ability to move independently. Micro/nanorobots were powered by either endogenous power (chemical reaction energy) or …

Machine-Learning-Assisted Development of Polymer-Biochar Composite Adsorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Gomti River Water
Abstract: Rapid urbanization, industrial discharge, and agricultural runoff pose a significant threat to freshwater sustainability and public health. Within these ecosystems, polymer pollutants—such as microplastics, nanoplastics, synthetic fibres, and additive residues—have emerged as persistent vectors capable of adsorbing and transporting toxic heavy metals. Because these polymeric contaminants dynamically interact with conventional aquatic parameters to alter pollutant mobility and ecological risk profiles, there is an urgent need to transition from passive environmental …
