About
William W. Sampson is a leading figure in the science of porous materials, with a particular focus on cellulosic networks and their application in flexible electronics and sensing. His major contributions lie in understanding and engineering the structure–property relationships of fibrous materials, enabling the creation of novel, functional papers. Notably, his 2020 work on "Tunable Electrical Properties of Embossed, Cellulose-Based Paper for Skin-like Sensing" (14 citations) demonstrates a groundbreaking method to fabricate highly porous, conductive paper from cellulosic fibers and carbon black. By embossing this composite, Sampson shows how to precisely tune its porosity and conductivity, directly altering its performance for skin-like sensing applications. This research bridges traditional papermaking with advanced materials science, offering a scalable, sustainable route to flexible electronics. With a career spanning decades, Sampson’s work is foundational for researchers exploring smart packaging, wearable sensors, and green electronics, and his insights into porous media continue to inspire innovations in sustainable, high-performance materials.
