About

Kun Chang is a leading materials scientist whose research focuses on the design and development of advanced functional polymers, particularly for applications in flexible and wearable electronics. His most significant contribution to the field is the creation of a transparent, highly stretchable, and self-healing polyurethane, a breakthrough achieved through the strategic incorporation of dynamic disulfide bonds. This work, published in 2018 and now cited over 290 times, has been instrumental in addressing the critical challenge of durability in soft electronic materials. By enabling a material that can autonomously repair mechanical damage while maintaining high optical clarity and elasticity, Chang’s research has opened new pathways for next-generation devices, from smart skins to soft robotics. His innovative approach to polymer chemistry not only demonstrates a profound understanding of molecular design but also provides a practical solution for extending the lifespan of flexible electronics. Through this seminal paper, Kun Chang has established himself as a key figure in the pursuit of robust, self-healing materials, with his work serving as a foundational reference for researchers aiming to merge functionality with resilience.
