About

Haorui Zhai is a rising researcher at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, specializing in the 3D and 4D printing of magnetic and shape memory materials. His work uniquely bridges material science, process engineering, and application development, as exemplified by his highly cited review, "Review on the 3D printing technology and application of magnetic materials: Material-process-structure-application" (2025, 17 citations). This comprehensive synthesis has quickly become a key reference for researchers navigating the complex interplay between printing parameters and magnetic performance. Zhai’s most notable contribution lies in pioneering 4D printing of the Sm₂Fe₁₇Nₓ shape memory composites, demonstrating magnetic programming ability—a breakthrough that enables materials to change shape or function over time in response to magnetic fields. This work, published in 2025 (2 citations), opens new avenues for smart actuators and adaptive structures. By integrating magnetic anisotropy with additive manufacturing, Zhai is helping to define the next generation of stimuli-responsive materials, positioning himself as an influential voice in the rapidly evolving field of functional 3D/4D printing.
