About
Chokri Cherif is a prominent researcher whose work spans the intersection of advanced textile engineering, composite materials, and smart structural systems. His scholarship is principally anchored in three domains: textile-reinforced concrete, adaptive fiber-reinforced composites, and soft robotics actuators integrating shape memory alloys (SMAs). Cherif's most impactful contribution lies in advancing non-metallic textile reinforcement for concrete construction, reflected in his highly cited 2022 review (69 citations) and a complementary trends analysis (2023), which together establish him as a leading voice in sustainable, corrosion-resistant building materials. His investigations into carbon fiber non-crimp fabrics and coreless 3D filament winding technologies (47 and 40 citations, respectively) have expanded manufacturing possibilities for complex fiber architectures. Equally notable is Cherif's pioneering integration of SMA wires into textile-rubber composites and soft actuators, enabling high-displacement, closed-loop-controlled systems relevant to aerospace, robotics, and biomedical engineering. His development of stretchable textile strain sensors and conducting polymer artificial muscles further demonstrates his commitment to bridging functional textiles with emerging technologies. With over 290 cumulative citations across these diverse yet interconnected fields, Cherif's research consistently pushes the boundaries of what engineered textiles can achieve in structural and adaptive applications.
