About
Peilong Zhou is pioneering the development of next-generation self-healing elastomers for flexible sensor applications, a critical area for advancing wearable electronics, healthcare monitoring, and soft robotics. His research focuses on creating highly robust, recyclable materials that can autonomously repair damage, dramatically extending device lifespans. Zhou’s major contributions include the design of a highly robust polyurethane elastomer that achieves near-perfect self-healing efficiency (≈100% at room temperature in 12 hours) through a synergistic network of dynamic disulfide, boron-oxygen, and hydrogen bonds. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 31 citations, also demonstrates exceptional puncture resistance and recyclability, with conductive PEDOT:PSS ink encapsulated for stable sensor performance. In a complementary study (2024, 9 citations), Zhou explored epoxidized natural rubber (ENR), leveraging the synergistic effect of coordination and hydrogen bonds to create highly tensile, self-healing conductive composites for strain sensors. By engineering materials that combine high mechanical robustness with intrinsic self-repair, Zhou is addressing fundamental durability challenges in flexible electronics, paving the way for more sustainable and long-lasting wearable technologies.
