About

Zhanmiao Li is a leading researcher in advanced functional materials and additive manufacturing, whose work bridges the gap between flexible electronics and high-performance piezoelectric devices. His primary research areas include 3D-printed piezoceramic-polymer composites, flexible electromechanical energy conversion, and precision actuation systems. Li’s major contributions center on developing novel 3D-printing approaches to create flexible, ordered structures that integrate piezoelectric ceramics with polymers, enabling both energy harvesting and self-sensing capabilities. His most cited work, a 2020 study on 3D-printed Ag-coated PNN-PZT ceramic-polymer grid-composites for electromechanical energy conversion, has garnered 90 citations, highlighting its impact on flexible energy devices. He further advanced the field with a 2023 paper on 3D-printing for flexible piezoelectronics with function diversity (46 citations), demonstrating the versatility of his methods. Notably, Li’s 2020 design of Ordered Structure with Piezoceramic Actuation Units (OSPAU) for generating continual nanostep motion (33 citations) addresses critical needs in precision robotics and manufacturing, achieving nanoscale resolution over large ranges. His 2021 work on multilayered ceramic-polymer composite grids with integrated structural-self-sensing function (32 citations) underscores his focus on multifunctional materials. Li’s innovative use of 3D printing to create flexible, high-performance piezocomposites positions him as a key figure in next-generation smart materials and devices.
