About

Hye-Young Jang is a leading researcher in advanced materials for flexible and wearable electronics, with a primary focus on capacitive force sensors and high-performance nanocomposites. Her most-cited work, "Enhanced performance in capacitive force sensors using carbon nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposites with high dielectric properties" (2016, 52 citations), addresses a critical challenge in the field: achieving high sensitivity without relying on fragile, microstructured materials. Jang’s key contribution lies in developing robust, scalable nanocomposites that combine carbon nanotubes with polydimethylsiloxane to significantly enhance dielectric properties, thereby improving sensor performance for applications in touch screens, robotics, smart scales, and wearable devices. This work has been widely recognized for its practical impact, offering a durable alternative to delicate sensor designs. Beyond this landmark study, Jang’s research continues to push the boundaries of material innovation, bridging the gap between laboratory-scale sensitivity and real-world durability. Her achievements underscore a commitment to creating reliable, high-performance sensors that can withstand the demands of everyday use, making her a notable figure in the advancement of next-generation wearable and interactive technologies.
