About
Dr. B. Steiger is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and smart materials, with a primary focus on the development of functional 3D-printable composites. Their most cited work, "Fabrication and Characterization of Electrically Conductive 3D Printable TPU/MWCNT Filaments for Strain Sensing in Large Deformation Conditions" (2024), represents a significant contribution to the field of flexible electronics and structural health monitoring. In this study, Dr. Steiger pioneered the integration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to create customized feedstock for fused filament fabrication (FFF). This innovation enables the production of highly elastic, electrically conductive filaments capable of real-time strain sensing under large deformations—a critical advancement for wearable sensors, soft robotics, and adaptive structures. With 4 citations since its publication, this work has quickly established Dr. Steiger as a key figure in the intersection of materials science and additive manufacturing. Their research not only addresses fundamental challenges in conductive polymer composites but also provides a scalable pathway for embedding sensing capabilities directly into 3D-printed components, paving the way for next-generation intelligent materials.
