About
Chuhong Zhang is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, whose research bridges additive manufacturing, functional polymers, and smart materials for environmental and sensing applications. Zhang’s most impactful work, the 2021 review “Current advances and future perspectives of additive manufacturing for functional polymeric materials and devices,” has amassed over 250 citations, establishing a foundational roadmap for 3D printing of multifunctional devices. A hallmark contribution is the development of electrohydrodynamic pulling to 3D print self-polarized β-PVDF arrays, creating unusual hyperboloid structures that dramatically enhance piezoelectric sensing—a breakthrough for robotics and wearable electronics, cited 65 times. Zhang also pioneered hierarchically structured hydrogel actuators capable of simultaneous detection and removal of microplastic pollutants, addressing a critical environmental challenge with over 60 citations. This work exemplifies Zhang’s talent for merging structural design with functional performance, yielding self-powered soft robots for aquatic cleanup. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Zhang’s research continues to push the boundaries of 3D printing, from advanced sensors to environmental remediation, making a lasting impact on materials science and engineering.
