About

Qiangjun Ling is a leading researcher in the field of flexible electronics and smart materials, with a primary focus on developing advanced hydrogel-based wearable sensors. His work centers on creating multifunctional hydrogels that integrate high conductivity, self-healing capabilities, self-adhesion, and antibacterial properties for applications in electronic skins, soft robotics, and human motion monitoring. Ling’s major contributions include pioneering the design of double-network and supramolecular hydrogels using biocompatible polymers such as sodium alginate, poly(vinyl alcohol), chitosan, and cyclodextrin. His 2021 paper on a self-healing, self-adhesive composite hydrogel has garnered 378 citations, while his subsequent works on dual-network and ionic conductive hydrogels have accumulated 226 and 125 citations, respectively, reflecting their significant impact on the field. Ling’s innovative approach to combining host–guest interactions and dynamic covalent bonds has enabled the creation of durable, recyclable sensors capable of long-term monitoring of human and organ motions. His research not only advances fundamental materials science but also paves the way for practical, next-generation wearable health monitoring devices.
