About
Yongji He is a materials scientist whose research focuses on the intersection of sustainable chemistry and advanced manufacturing, particularly in the development of bio-inspired photopolymers for 3D printing. His most cited work, "Natural polyphenol as radical inhibitors used for DLP-based 3D printing of photosensitive gels" (2022, 20 citations), introduces a groundbreaking approach to digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing by replacing synthetic radical inhibitors with natural polyphenols—such as tannic acid—to control polymerization and enhance the biocompatibility of printed gels. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in additive manufacturing: the toxicity and environmental impact of conventional inhibitors. By demonstrating that plant-derived compounds can effectively scavenge radicals and improve print resolution, He’s work paves the way for greener, safer fabrication of hydrogels for biomedical applications, including tissue engineering and drug delivery. His research exemplifies how integrating natural chemistry with cutting-edge fabrication techniques can yield both high-performance materials and sustainable solutions. With a growing citation record, He is emerging as a key voice in the field of bio-based photopolymers, inspiring further exploration into the use of renewable resources for advanced manufacturing.
