Govind Kumar Sharma’s artwork featured on the cover of Carbon (Vol. 256)

Jun 17, 2026

We are excited to see the cover artwork from Govind Kumar Sharma featured as the outside front cover of Carbon Journal (Vol. 256, June 2026), now officially published online.

The cover showcases the promising potential of poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVDC) in electrospun fiber formation and its transformation into carbon nanofibers, with applications spanning CO₂ capture and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

This work is linked to the recent publication: Porous carbon nanofibers derived from electrospun polyvinylidene chloride for CO2 capture and electromagnetic interference shielding

Congratulations to all the collaborating teams at UD Center For Composite Materials, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), IISER Tirupati, and Syensqo.

A great example of interdisciplinary collaboration translating materials research into impactful applications.
