Women Empowerment: The Essential Role of Education for Women in India
Abstract: Education has long been acknowledged as one of the most powerful instruments of social transformation, and in the Indian context, it holds unique significance for women’s empowerment. The empowerment of women is central to reducing gender inequality, dismantling patriarchal norms, and achieving inclusive growth. Women’s education does not merely provide literacy; it develops autonomy, fosters confidence, and equips women with the skills necessary for meaningful participation in social, political, and …

Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …

Non-Contact Quantification of Swelling-Induced Deformation in Polymer Hydrogels Using Image Analysis
Abstract: Swelling of polymer hydrogels governs transport, mechanics, and functional performance in biomedical systems, yet it is often reported using bulk ratios that conceal spatially heterogeneous deformation and boundary-driven instabilities. This study presents a non-contact image-analysis framework to quantify swelling-induced deformation by tracking shape and boundary evolution from time-lapse imaging. The approach segments the hydrogel region, extracts a sub-pixel refined contour, and computes boundary displacement descriptors including mean and upper-percentile normal …

Machine Learning Optimization for VARTM Carbon Polymer Laminates
Abstract: Vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM) is a key low-cost, out-of-autoclave process for manufacturing large-scale carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates crucial to aerospace wings, wind-turbine blades, marine hulls, and automotive structures. Unpredictable resin flow often leads to voids, dry spots, and race-tracking defects, resulting in 27.9% scrap rates and lengthy, costly trial-and-error design cycles. Although surrogate models provide rapid impregnation predictions for simple flat-plate geometries, vision-based monitoring is limited to idealized …

Image-Based Quantitative Mapping of Structure Property Relationships in Polymer Composite Materials
Abstract: The performance of polymer composite materials is intrinsically governed by their microstructural architecture, which is shaped by manufacturing conditions and constituent interactions. Despite extensive experimental characterization efforts, establishing transparent and quantitative structure–property relationships from microstructural images remains a challenge. In this study, an explainable image-driven framework is developed to systematically correlate microstructural features with composite property indicators. Microstructure images are processed to identify voids, fibers, and filler phases, from which …
