About
Yingjuan Sun is a leading researcher in sustainable polymer materials, with a focus on lignin-derived polyurethane elastomers for advanced robotic and sensor applications. Her major contributions include the development of high-performance, multifunctional lignin-based polyurethane elastomers that combine excellent mechanical properties with dynamic adaptability, as demonstrated in her 2025 paper (33 citations) on robotic flexible protective layers. She has also pioneered room-temperature self-healing polyurethanes that achieve a rare balance between high mechanical strength, superior toughness, and autonomous healing capability (2024, 5 citations). Sun’s work addresses critical challenges in creating recyclable, sustainable materials that can self-repair at ambient conditions while maintaining robust performance for sensor applications. Her research has significant implications for soft robotics, wearable electronics, and protective coatings, offering eco-friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum-based polymers. With her innovative “dynamic locking” design strategy, Sun is advancing the frontier of smart, durable materials that combine sustainability with cutting-edge functionality.
