Exciting topics and research by Prof. Andris Šutka !!

So fortunate to host Prof. Andris Šutka at our Research Seminar !! Very interesting theoretical and experimental Research results presented in his lecture !It is great to learn and know more about triboelectric materials for energy harvesting, material parameters to improve performance, the effect of mechanical properties, roughness, thermal history of the polymers used.  Find more details and deep understanding in his already published papers (see below).

The seminar given by Prof. Andris Šutka focused on the potential of development of triboelectric nanomaterials for energy harvesting as presented in more details in his recent publications on the subject [1–3].
