About

Dr. Xuejie Xu is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, specializing in the 3D printing of functional nanocomposites and soft electronics. Her research centers on direct writing techniques for fabricating complex, conductive structures from elastomeric materials. In her highly cited 2018 work, "Printing Carbon Nanotube-Embedded Silicone Elastomers via Direct Writing," Dr. Xu pioneered a method to print colloidal multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). This breakthrough enabled the creation of intricate architectures—such as woodpiles, tetragonal scaffolds, and gradient meshes—that combine the mechanical flexibility of silicone with the electrical conductivity of CNTs. Garnering over 40 citations, this foundational paper has significantly advanced the field of stretchable electronics and soft robotics. Dr. Xu’s contributions are pivotal for developing next-generation wearable sensors, flexible circuits, and biomedical devices, establishing her as an innovator at the intersection of materials science and additive manufacturing.
