About

Guilong Yan is a leading researcher in stimuli-responsive polymers and bioinspired lubrication systems, with a focus on developing intelligent materials that adapt to environmental changes. His major contributions include pioneering work on recyclable polyurethane composites with shape-memory and self-healing abilities (32 citations), and the creation of supramolecular hydrogels that leverage π–π conjugated bond stacking and scattering for switchable lubrication (15 citations). Yan has advanced the field of adaptive tribology through bioinspired ultra-lubrication hydrogels (13 citations) and wide-range controllable stick-to-slip hydrogels (7 citations), which synergistically combine wettability and surface morphology. His notable achievements include super-flexible water-proof actuators (9 citations) and durable semi-interpenetrating polymer networks with dynamic boroxine bonds for multi-shape deformation (7 citations). Most recently, he has developed self-secreting organohydrogels that maintain adaptive lubrication in extreme environments, including dry and subzero conditions (1 citation). Yan’s work is highly cited and directly impacts the design of intelligent motion devices, soft robotics, and advanced sensing technologies, making him a key figure in the next generation of smart, durable, and responsive polymer materials.
