About
Yong-Zhu Yan is a materials scientist whose work bridges flexible electronics and optical sensing, with a focus on phosphorescence-based multifunctional skins. His research centers on developing flexible, transparent sensors capable of operating in extreme environments, addressing critical needs in intelligent bionic robotics and automated medical treatment. Yan’s most impactful contribution is the creation of a phosphorescence-based flexible optical temperature-sensing skin, published in 2021 (37 citations), which uses polyimide substrates derived from 4,4-diamino diphenyl ether and 4,4′-oxydiphthalic anhydride to achieve both flexibility and transparency. This innovation enables precise temperature monitoring under harsh conditions. Expanding on this, he developed a dual-function flexible sensing skin that integrates temperature and tactile sensing (7 citations), advancing the potential for human-machine interfaces. Yan’s work is notable for its practical application in extreme environments, where conventional sensors fail. His achievements highlight a unique synergy of material chemistry and device engineering, positioning him as a key contributor to next-generation wearable and robotic sensory systems.
