About
Gang Qin is a leading researcher in the field of advanced functional hydrogels and soft materials, with a focus on designing mechanically robust, multifunctional polymer systems. His major contributions lie in the development of conductive and self-healing hydrogels for flexible electronics and energy storage. Notably, his 2018 work on conductive regenerated silk-fibroin-based hydrogels (93 citations) pioneered hydrogels that integrate high mechanical performance with ionic conductivity, enabling applications as strain sensors and touch screen pens. He further advanced the field with a 2020 study on multifunctional supramolecular gel polymer electrolytes for self-healable, cold-resistant supercapacitors (61 citations), addressing key durability challenges in energy devices. Qin has also explored shape-deformation bilayer films with tough adhesion between nanocomposite hydrogels and polymer substrates (29 citations), contributing to soft robotics and morphing structures. His work is distinguished by solving the longstanding trade-off between mechanical strength and multifunctionality in hydrogels. With a growing citation impact, Qin’s innovations continue to inspire new directions in wearable electronics, soft actuators, and sustainable energy systems.
