About
Xinwu Xu is a leading innovator in the field of flexible bioelectronics and smart materials, with a core focus on developing advanced, multifunctional hydrogels for wearable sensing and soft robotics. His major contributions center on the strategic use of nanocellulose—a sustainable, biocompatible nanomaterial—to engineer hydrogels that are simultaneously highly stretchable, conductive, and self-healing. By integrating nanocellulose with graphene or polyacrylic acid, Xu has created robust strain sensors capable of reliably monitoring human motion, even under repeated deformation. His work on bilayer hydrogel actuators further pushes boundaries by combining thermo-responsive shape memory with self-sensing capabilities, enabling soft robots that can both move and report their own state. With his top-cited paper accumulating over 320 citations, Xu’s research has garnered significant attention for solving the long-standing trade-off between mechanical resilience and electrical conductivity in soft materials. His achievements are paving the way for next-generation wearable health monitors, electronic skin, and adaptive soft machines that are not only high-performing but also environmentally sustainable.
