About
Yumin Wu is a materials scientist whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of smart elastomers, self-healing polymers, and flexible electronics. Wu has established a distinctive research program centered on engineering advanced silicone-based and MXene-incorporated composites that simultaneously achieve stretchability, toughness, and autonomous self-repair — properties notoriously difficult to combine in a single material system. Wu's most celebrated contribution, a 2020 study on Ti₃C₂ MXene/PDMS supramolecular elastomers modified with small biomolecules, has garnered over 163 citations, demonstrating broad community recognition of its significance for wearable strain sensors, electronic skin, and next-generation robotics. This work, alongside companion studies on carbon-MXene and MWCNT conductive composites, established Wu as a leading voice in functional conductive elastomers for human motion detection. Equally notable is Wu's foundational work on self-healing silicone rubbers, exploring reversible crosslinking strategies including hydrogen bonds, disulfide linkages, and metal-ligand interactions — representing an elegant, isocyanate-free approach to sustainable elastomer design. Collectively, Wu's publications have accumulated nearly 450 citations, reflecting substantial influence on the rapidly growing fields of soft robotics, wearable electronics, and intelligent materials engineering.
