There is a need to bridge the gap between industry and academia; as academic professionals are apprehensive of the rules, ego of the industry; and industry professionals are apprehensive of the rules, ego of the institutions. Professors of Practice, Adjunct Professors are a good route for industry experts to participate in institution projects. Similar model, roles needs to be built for academic experts to participate in industry projects. Till the apprehension is cleared, there will be no love marriage between industry and academia. Mutually benefitting industry, academia roles are the only way out. Also a number of industry experts are retiring at 50-55 years. They can play a great role of 20 years, in bridging the gap between industry and academia. Academia/Industry should create a beautiful role for these early retired experts. I have interacted with a lot of these retired industry experts and they say academia only wants research papers, research grants out of them. They are not interested in leveraging their expertize for benefit of students. Skill development programs by these early retired industry experts will definitely lead to Innovation, Entrepreneurship, etc.

The Research & Innovation team at BITS Pilani is excited to share a new publication by Prabakaran Saravanan, DANAVATH BALU,  Piyush Chandra Verma ,  Narala Suresh kumar Reddy, SUJITH R  published in TRIBOLOGY LETTERS Journal. 🎉   𝐓𝐢𝐭le: Tribological Investigation of Chemically Modified Polytetrafluoroethylene Coating for Hydrogen Valve Application   Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) can cause catastrophic failure of stainless steel valve and related components in hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs), reducing reliability, safety and increasing the cost. Here, in this study, the ability of chemically modified polytetrafluoroethylene (CM-PTFE) coatings on steel substrates in reducing the HE susceptibility and, the friction and wear of valve parts, are explored due to its low hydrogen (H2) permeability and excellent solid lubrication. The solid lubrication properties of CM-PTFE-coated steel samples were investigated before and after H2 charging at a pressure of 7 × 105 Pascals. After H2 charging, the samples were subjected to CHNS and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to quantify the percentage of H2 absorption and its effect on crystallinity of the samples, respectively, and interesting insights were obtained from both CHNS and XRD analysis. Furthermore, the effect of H2 charging on uncoated steel discs and CM-PTFE-coated discs were thoroughly investigated by hardness measurements, tribological characterization, wear behavior analysis of discs and pins and chemical elemental mapping. All test results are harmoniously suggesting that the H2 charging indeed softened the material significantly. The developed double function CM-PTFE coatings can minimize H2 permeability and also reduce friction, and wear of the components in HRSs.

The Research & Innovation, BITS Pilani team is excited to share a new publication by Dr. Harikrishnan A R and other author published in Physics of Fluids. 🎉   𝐓𝐢𝐭le: Role of retraction dynamics in bouncing to pinning transition during drop impact on cold superhydrophobic surfaces   Highlights: The present study brings out the influence and relevance of retraction dynamics on bouncing to pinning transition of impacting drop on cold superhydrophobic surface. A theoretical framework has been proposed to predict the pinning to bouncing regimes for drop impact over subcooled superhydrophobic surfaces. The results of this study give engineers a path toward creating surfaces with anti-icing properties.   𝐃𝐎𝐈: https://lnkd.in/ghhbWdMN   Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani | BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus| Research & Innovation, BITS Pilani| Dr. Harikrishnan A R | Sanket Goel | Surender Mohan | Vishwajeet Parihar | Arpita Sharma | Praloy Mondal | Apurva Vunnava | Dr. Radhika Vangala | Dr. Juhi Kumari | Navya Debbad

I feel immensely happy that our first patent from BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus has been granted. This work was solely led by my PhD student T Leelasree . who submitted her PhD thesis recently. This patent is also special as we named these new materials after BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. These new MOFs show visible detection of biogenic amines from protein rich foods such as fish and cheese which helps in testing the freshness of the food. This is especially important and highly relevant to the frozen food industry where the maintenance of cold supply chain is critical. What is even more interesting is that the same set of MOFs have resulted in 4 publications in excellent journals such as J Mater Chem C, ACS Applied Nano Mater, Chemistry of Materials and Sustainable Energy and Fuels. A big thanks to BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus for providing excellent research infrastructure. #sensors #MOFs #Sustainability #Research #Innovation #Materialschemistry #frozenfood #coldchain Research & Innovation, BITS Pilani
