About

Xiaoliang Wang is a leading researcher in stretchable electronics and smart adhesive materials, with a focus on developing next-generation electronic skins (e-skins) and soft, liquid-state devices. His most impactful work includes the design of a highly sensitive e-skin with a linear response achieved through precise control of contact area (77 citations), and pioneering the omnidirectional printing of soft elastomers for liquid-state stretchable electronics (41 citations), which significantly advanced the durability and manufacturability of flexible circuits. Wang has also made notable contributions to programmable adhesion, introducing temperature-triggered reversible side-chain crystallization in ionogels and a cocrystal effect-driven ultrafast phase-transition ionogel for dynamically switchable adhesion interfaces. More recently, he developed an ultra-thin stretchable electrode based on high-resilient polyurethane crosslinked with La³⁺ complexes, pushing the boundaries of wearable healthcare and human-machine interfaces. With a publication record spanning from fundamental materials science to applied device engineering, Wang’s work is driving innovation in smart healthcare, soft robotics, and precision manufacturing.
