About
Yeqiang Tan is a leading figure in the development of advanced soft materials for wearable electronics, with a primary focus on ionic hydrogels. His most celebrated contribution is the design of a highly sensitive, stretchable, self-adhesive, and self-healing ionic sensor, detailed in a 2019 paper that has garnered over 330 citations. In this seminal work, Tan engineered a ternary hybrid hydrogel composed of tannic acid, sodium alginate, and covalent cross-linked polyacrylamide. By exploiting multiple weak hydrogen bonds and synergistic interactions between these components, he created a material that seamlessly integrates skin-mountable sensing with robust mechanical and adhesive properties. This breakthrough addresses critical challenges in wearable technology, enabling sensors that conform to the body, autonomously repair damage, and maintain high sensitivity. Tan’s research has significantly advanced the field of flexible electronics, offering a practical pathway toward durable, comfortable, and reliable health-monitoring devices. His work stands as a cornerstone for future innovations in self-healing, biocompatible ionic conductors.
