About
Dr. Yong Lin is a leading figure in the development of stretchable and flexible electronics, with a primary focus on advanced nanomaterials for sensors and energy storage. His most impactful contribution is the creation of a highly stable and sensitive paper-based bending sensor using silver nanowires and layered double hydroxides hybrids. This work, published in 2015 and garnering 135 citations, addressed the critical issue of nanowire aggregation in polymer matrices, paving the way for more reliable flexible piezoresistive materials. Building on this foundation, Dr. Lin has advanced the field by outlining key strategies for durable metal nanowire-based conductors and, notably, by engineering the first omnidirectionally stretchable high-performance microbatteries. This latter achievement overcomes the traditional limitation of unidirectional strain tolerance, offering a compact, flat power source compatible with next-generation wearables and soft robotics. Through his work, Dr. Lin is directly enabling the future of bio-integrated devices and soft robotics by solving fundamental material challenges in conductivity, stability, and mechanical compliance.
