About
Qiyuan Dai is a materials scientist whose research focuses on the design of advanced, multifunctional hydrogels for flexible electronics and biomedical applications. His most notable contribution is the development of tough thermoplastic hydrogels that combine high mechanical strength with remarkable re-processability and recyclability—a significant breakthrough in sustainable soft materials. By engineering a supramolecular network cross-linked through double hydrogen bonds, Dai’s work enables these hydrogels to be repeatedly melted and reshaped like conventional thermoplastics, overcoming a key limitation of traditional hydrogels. This innovation has direct applications in strain sensors, wearable devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds, where both durability and environmental sustainability are critical. His highly cited 2020 paper (21 citations) has already established a foundation for future work in recyclable smart materials. Dai’s research bridges polymer chemistry, mechanics, and device engineering, offering practical pathways toward greener, high-performance soft electronics.
