About
Wenhan Lee is at the forefront of advanced hydrogel engineering, with a primary focus on developing functional soft materials for biomedical and flexible device applications. His most cited work, "3D Printing of Interpenetrating Network Flexible Hydrogels with Enhancement of Adhesiveness" (2023, 24 citations), tackles a critical challenge in additive manufacturing: creating 3D-printed hydrogels that simultaneously possess robust toughness and strong adhesiveness. Lee’s innovative approach, inspired by mussel chemistry, integrates polydopamine (PDA) into interpenetrating polymer networks, enabling the rapid fabrication of complex, sticky, yet durable soft structures. This breakthrough overcomes a fundamental limitation in customizable hydrogel design, opening new pathways for tissue adhesives, wound dressings, and flexible sensors. By demonstrating that 3D printing can yield materials with both mechanical resilience and bio-inspired adhesion, Lee’s work has quickly gained traction among researchers in soft robotics and regenerative medicine. His contributions represent a significant step toward translating printed hydrogels from lab curiosities into practical, high-performance devices.
