About
Caiyan Wang is a rising leader in the field of soft electronics and smart materials, with research focused on self-healing elastomers, dielectric actuators, and printable electroluminescent devices. Her most cited work introduces a highly robust polyurethane elastomer that achieves near-perfect self-healing (≈100% efficiency at room temperature in 12 hours) through dynamic disulfide, boron-oxygen, and hydrogen bonds, enabling durable flexible sensors (31 citations). She has also pioneered ionic liquid-enabled transparent heterogeneous elastomers for soft electronics, addressing the critical need for high permittivity in dielectric elastomers to improve sensor sensitivity and actuator performance (17 citations). Her recent contributions include electroactive artificial muscles with macroscopic stroke via liquid crystal plasticizing, and a high-κ homogeneous ink for printable electroluminescent devices—both advancing wearable and robotic interfaces. With over 50 citations across her top papers, Wang’s work bridges fundamental polymer chemistry and applied device engineering, offering practical solutions for stretchable electronics, bionic machinery, and human-machine interaction. Her innovations in self-repairing, recyclable materials and low-voltage actuation mark her as a key contributor to next-generation soft technologies.
