About
Zhihui Qin is a leading researcher in the development of advanced functional hydrogels for flexible electronics and underwater sensing. Their most impactful work centers on overcoming the critical challenge of hydrogel swelling in aquatic environments, which degrades sensor performance. In a landmark 2021 study, Qin introduced non-swelling, anti-fouling MXene nanocomposite hydrogels, ingeniously combining conductive MXene nanosheets with a polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate matrix. This innovation achieved stable, high-fidelity strain sensing even when fully submerged, addressing a key bottleneck for applications in aquatic robotics and marine exploration. The paper has garnered 99 citations, reflecting its significance in the field. Qin’s contributions are pivotal for the next generation of wearable sensors that must operate reliably in wet or underwater conditions, opening new possibilities for human-machine interfaces, health monitoring, and environmental sensing. Their work continues to inspire the design of durable, high-performance hydrogel-based devices.
