About
Mahyar Panahi‐Sarmad is a leading researcher in advanced multifunctional polymers, with a focus on shape memory polymers, flexible strain sensors, and 3D-printable elastomers. His work bridges materials science and engineering, developing smart composites that respond to multiple stimuli—including heat, water, ethanol, pH, redox agents, and UV light—for applications in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices. Notably, his bioinspired shape memory polyurethane, modeled after α-keratin in hair, demonstrates a rare quadruple-stimuli response, while his dual-switch TPU/CB/CNC nanocomposites achieve multi-stimuli shape memory behavior. Panahi‐Sarmad has also made significant contributions to flexible strain sensors, particularly those based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrices, and to additive manufacturing, where his direct ink writing of elastomeric polyurethane with cellulose nanofibrils advances 3D printing capabilities. His highly cited reviews on graphene-based dielectric elastomer actuators and flexible strain sensors each have garnered 96 citations, underscoring their impact. With over 285 total citations, his research is shaping next-generation responsive and adaptive materials for intelligent systems.
