About

Nikola A. Dudukovic is a leading researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing and materials science, with a core focus on developing advanced processing methods for functional elastomers and ceramics. His most-cited work, "3D Printing of High Viscosity Reinforced Silicone Elastomers" (2021, 64 citations), demonstrates a pivotal contribution: enabling the direct ink writing of high-viscosity, reinforced silicone materials. This breakthrough overcomes longstanding barriers in soft robotics and flexible electronics, allowing for the deterministic control of structure, shape, and mechanical properties in elastomeric parts. By expanding the material palette for additive manufacturing, Dudukovic’s research bridges the gap between rapid prototyping and high-performance applications. His work is widely recognized for its practical impact, offering engineers and researchers new routes to fabricate durable, custom-designed silicone components. With a growing citation footprint, Dudukovic continues to shape the future of 3D printing, driving innovation in both fundamental materials science and scalable manufacturing technologies.
