Phase transformations in highly electrostrictive and magnetostrictive crystals: structural heterogeneity and history dependent phase stability
… materials systems have chemical disorders and structural inhomogeneity on a microscale, giving rise to an interesting diversity of crystal structures and novel macroscopic physical properties, which are dependent on thermal and electrical histories of the crystals. In this thesis, I have to …

Wear mechanisms of chemically crosslinked hydrogels under mild abrasion
The structural and mechanical resemblance of hydrogels to cartilage makes them promising candidates for cartilage replacement in load bearing joints. These biphasic materials are composed of an elastic network that retains a large volume of water allowing them to efficiently maintain smooth sliding …
