About
Dr. Hongzhen Cai is pioneering the development of next-generation smart materials at the intersection of sustainable chemistry and flexible electronics. Her research focuses on designing eco-friendly, biomass-based composites for epidermal sensors and wearable devices, with a particular emphasis on organohydrogels and organogels that combine conductivity with environmental responsibility. Dr. Cai’s major contributions include the creation of a conductive gluten/MXene composite organohydrogel (2021, 20 citations) that offers flexibility, adhesion, and low-temperature tolerance—a breakthrough for epidermal strain sensors. More recently, she engineered lignin-stabilized liquid metal/protein organogels (2024, 19 citations) that achieve a rare combination of toughness, stickiness, and recyclability, addressing a long-standing challenge in multifunctional epidermal smart materials. Her work has garnered significant attention, with her most-cited papers accumulating nearly 40 citations, reflecting its impact on both materials science and sustainable technology. Dr. Cai’s innovative use of renewable resources like gluten and lignin not only advances wearable electronics but also promotes a circular economy, making her a leading voice in green flexible electronics.
