About
Dr. Joseph Kenney is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing and smart materials, with a focused expertise in the development of functional, 3D-printable composites for sensing applications. His most cited work, "Fabrication and Characterization of Electrically Conductive 3D Printable TPU/MWCNT Filaments for Strain Sensing in Large Deformation Conditions" (2024), exemplifies his core contribution: engineering novel thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). By systematically investigating various MWCNT reinforcement ratios, Dr. Kenney has created customized feedstock for fused filament fabrication (FFF) that exhibits both high flexibility and electrical conductivity. This breakthrough enables the production of integrated strain sensors capable of operating under large deformations—a critical advancement for soft robotics, wearable electronics, and structural health monitoring. His work bridges materials science and digital fabrication, offering a scalable path to embedding sensing directly into 3D-printed components. With his research already garnering early citations and setting a foundation for future smart manufacturing, Dr. Kenney is establishing himself as a key innovator in the field of functional additive manufacturing.
