Another important area of the research is to develop engineered materials from polybenzoxazine, a class of advanced thermosetting resins. Her group has developed new approaches to immobilize benzoxazine monomers from the surface of silica, aiding in better dispersion to silica, while preparing composites using polybenzoxazine and silica. Her group has developed multifunctional polybenzoxazines which are interesting materials in high-temperature adhesives. Because of the molecular design flexibility, these multifunctional polybenzoxazines are an important precursor for the synthesis of heteroatom-doped carbon materials as well as reprocessable thermosets.

Prof. Karra's Group

Prof. Karra’s team focuses on both fundamental and applied research, aiming to understand and model the electrochemical and mechanical behavior of advanced materials to enhance the performance and reliability of energy systems. Their research emphasizes the development of thermodynamically consistent variational theories to uncover the microstructure-property relationships in materials utilized for energy storage, conversion, and structural applications. By employing state-of-the-art computational techniques—including phase-field modeling, thermodynamic and kinetic databases, finite element, and finite volume analysis—they investigate the microstructural evolution of materials. This approach allows them to optimize material properties under various thermal, electromagnetic, mechanical, and chemical stimuli.
