About
Thomas W. Robison is a researcher advancing the frontiers of additive manufacturing and flexible sensor technology, with a primary focus on Direct-Ink-Writing (DIW) of elastomeric nanocomposites. His work centers on developing novel fabrication methods for piezoresistive sensors—materials that change electrical resistance under mechanical stress—with applications spanning structural health monitoring, robotics, and biomedical devices. Robison’s key contributions include demonstrating how DIW can be used to regulate material composition and create complex geometries unattainable through traditional manufacturing, as well as engineering controlled porosity within elastomeric nanocomposites to significantly enhance sensor sensitivity and functionality. His most cited papers, including "Evaluation of Direct-Ink-Writing (DIW) of PDMS Hybrid Nanocomposite Ink for Piezoresistive Sensor Applications" and "Additive Manufacturing of Controlled Porous Elastomeric Nanocomposites for Enhanced Sensing Function," each with 3 citations, represent foundational steps in integrating thixotropic fillers like silica with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to optimize ink rheology and sensor performance. Through these efforts, Robison is helping to unlock the potential of 3D-printed smart materials for next-generation sensing systems.
