About
Hideaki Morikawa is a leading figure in the development of advanced functional materials for wearable electronics and energy harvesting. His research focuses on creating intelligent, deformable systems that seamlessly integrate sensing, conductivity, and mechanical resilience. Morikawa’s most impactful contribution is the design of a stretchable, adhesive, self-healable, and conductive hydrogel for triboelectric nanogenerators, a work that has garnered 176 citations. This innovation addresses a critical challenge in soft robotics and electronic skin by combining multiple, often incompatible, properties into a single material platform. More recently, he has advanced the field of smart textiles with his work on coaxial wet-spun hollow MWCNT-TPU/TPU smart fibers, enabling enhanced multifunctional sensing for precise human motion detection. By pioneering materials that are not only conductive but also capable of self-repair and adhesion, Morikawa is laying the groundwork for next-generation, durable, and truly wearable technology. His work stands at the intersection of materials science and bioelectronics, promising transformative applications in human-machine interfaces and personal healthcare.
