About
Krishnamurthy Prasad is a materials scientist and engineer whose research bridges additive manufacturing and smart materials, with a focus on developing functional composites for next-generation industrial and robotic applications. His most-cited work, "Additive manufacturing of polypropylene micro and nano composites through fused filament fabrication for automotive repair applications" (2022, 39 citations), demonstrates his contribution to advancing fused filament fabrication (FFF) by creating polypropylene-based composite materials tailored for automotive repair—a practical solution that enhances the viability of 3D printing in manufacturing. More recently, his 2024 paper "Liquid crystalline elastomers as artificial muscles and flexible actuators for robotics/hybrid engineered machinery" (27 citations) explores the use of liquid crystalline elastomers to create lightweight, flexible actuators, addressing critical challenges in reducing machinery weight and profile for applications in space travel, manufacturing, and medical interventions. Prasad’s work is notable for its direct industrial relevance and its potential to enable more efficient, adaptive engineered systems. With growing citation impact, he is establishing himself as an innovator at the intersection of materials processing and smart actuation.
