About
Baojun Xie is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, specializing in the direct writing of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites for flexible electronics. His research focuses on developing novel printing techniques to embed CNTs into diverse polymer matrices, creating conductive, complex structures for next-generation devices. In his highly cited 2018 work (43 citations), Xie pioneered the direct writing of single-walled CNT/Nafion composites, demonstrating a scalable route for fabricating functional ionic polymer actuators. That same year, he achieved a major breakthrough by printing multiwalled CNT-embedded silicone elastomers (41 citations), successfully fabricating intricate architectures like woodpiles and gradient mesh structures. This work proved that conductive, stretchable CNT/PDMS composites could be precisely deposited without clogging, overcoming a critical hurdle in soft robotics and wearable sensor manufacturing. By enabling the rapid prototyping of complex, conductive geometries, Xie’s contributions have significantly advanced the field of additive manufacturing for flexible electronics, with his foundational papers serving as key references for researchers developing novel printed sensors and actuators.
