About

Yewang Su is a leading researcher in flexible electronics, smart textiles, and bioinspired surface engineering, with a focus on developing high-performance, scalable materials for wearable technology. His most influential work includes the creation of high-performance piezoelectric devices using aligned arrays of poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) nanofibers, a paper that has garnered over 1,200 citations and laid the foundation for energy-harvesting fabrics. Su’s innovative design of moisture-sensitive smart yarns and textiles from self-balanced silk fiber muscles, cited over 300 times, demonstrates his ability to integrate biological principles into functional materials for adaptive clothing. He has also made significant contributions to understanding nature’s hierarchical superhydrophobic surfaces, as seen in his study of water strider legs, which revealed mechanisms for low adhesion and energy dissipation. More recently, Su developed stretchable strain sensors based on deterministic-contact-resistance braided structures, achieving high sensitivity and continuous production capability. His work bridges fundamental science and practical applications, earning him recognition as a pioneer in flexible electronics and bioinspired materials. With over 1,700 total citations, Su continues to inspire advancements in smart textiles and wearable sensors.
