About
Wentong Lu is a rising innovator in the field of advanced functional polymers, with a primary focus on developing self-healing, flexible sensor materials. His research centers on creating highly robust elastomers that combine exceptional mechanical resilience with autonomous repair capabilities, addressing critical challenges in wearable electronics and soft robotics. Lu’s most cited work introduces a groundbreaking polyurethane elastomer that achieves near-perfect self-healing efficiency (≈100% at room temperature within 12 hours) through a sophisticated synergy of dynamic disulfide bonds, boron-oxygen bonds, and hydrogen bonds, while also demonstrating puncture resistance and recyclability. This material, integrated with PEDOT:PSS conductive ink, has garnered 31 citations since 2025 for its potential in durable flexible sensors. His earlier work on epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) further explores the synergistic effect of coordination and hydrogen bonds to create highly tensile, self-repairing conductive composites for strain-sensing applications. By pioneering materials that mimic biological healing while maintaining high performance, Wentong Lu is making significant contributions to the next generation of smart, sustainable, and resilient electronic devices.
