About
Dr. Quan Ji is pioneering the development of advanced multifunctional hydrogels for flexible electronics and smart sensing applications. Their research focuses on creating strain-sensitive, conductive, and environmentally robust soft materials by ingeniously engineering polymer networks and incorporating bioactive molecules. A landmark contribution is the design of a strain-sensitive alginate/polyvinyl alcohol composite hydrogel with a Janus hierarchy and conductivity mediated by tannic acid (2022, 31 citations), which demonstrates how natural polyphenols can simultaneously impart adhesion, conductivity, and structural anisotropy. Building on this, Dr. Ji developed a conductive interpenetrating network organohydrogel of gellan gum and polypyrrole (2024, 14 citations), achieving remarkable weather-tolerance, piezoresistive sensing, and shape-memory capability—a significant step toward durable, all-weather wearable devices. By merging principles from polymer chemistry, biomaterials, and nanoelectronics, their work offers elegant solutions to the trade-offs between mechanical compliance, electrical performance, and environmental stability. Dr. Ji’s innovative use of natural polymers and hierarchical design continues to inspire new generations of smart hydrogels for human-machine interfaces, soft robotics, and health monitoring.
