About
Xuejun Lai is a materials scientist and engineer whose research sits at the intersection of flexible electronics, smart sensing, and functional composite materials. His work has profoundly advanced the design of wearable pressure and strain sensors, with a particular focus on MXene-based composites, graphene frameworks, and self-healable elastomers for human motion detection and health monitoring applications. Lai has pioneered innovative sensing architectures, including skin-inspired piezoresistive platforms, superhydrophobic aerogels, and three-dimensional conductive networks, demonstrating both exceptional sensitivity and mechanical robustness. His exploration of self-healing and degradable polymer systems — including polyurethane and epoxy elastomers — reflects a forward-thinking commitment to sustainable flexible electronics, addressing growing environmental concerns in the field. Beyond sensing, his work on polyimide/MXene composite aerogels for fire protection illustrates the breadth of his contributions to multifunctional smart materials. Collectively, his ten most-cited publications have accumulated over 1,000 citations, underscoring his significant and growing influence. Lai's research offers students and engineers a compelling roadmap for developing next-generation wearable devices that are sensitive, durable, self-healing, and environmentally responsible.
