About
Kailiang Ren is a leading researcher in the field of advanced functional materials, with a primary focus on piezoelectric energy harvesting, flexible electronics, and smart structural composites. His work bridges the gap between inorganic ceramic performance and polymer flexibility, enabling next-generation wearable devices. Ren’s major contributions include the development of a flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator based on 2-D BaTiO₃-oriented polycrystals, which demonstrated a specific potential distribution for efficient mechanical energy harvesting (43 citations). He also pioneered a 3D-printed, flexible, multilayered ceramic-polymer composite grid that integrates structural and self-sensing functions (32 citations), a significant step toward intelligent materials. Additionally, his investigation into the thermal stability of piezoelectricity in polylactide (PLLA) polymers led to the creation of a bimorph structure for piezoelectric minimotor applications (10 citations), highlighting the potential of biocompatible polymers in actuation. Ren’s work is highly cited and has been instrumental in advancing self-powered systems and smart materials, making him a key figure in the development of sustainable, wearable technology and structural health monitoring.
