Mayuri’s research focused on the synthesis and characterization of Cross-linked Polymerized Ionic Liquids. She characterized them for their potential use as actuators, piezoelectric materials as well as in electro-adhesion with the help of AC-Impedance Spectroscopy. Other characterization techniques that she used for analyzing the Polymer Ionic Liquid gel are Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis.
