Advanced Functional Material Group (AFMG), started in 2005, is affiliated with the School of Materials, Donghua University, with a well-established experimental research platform and a team of supervisors including: Professor Wang Hongzhi, Professor Li Yaogang, Researcher Zhang Qinghong, Researcher Hou Chengyi, and Distinguished Researcher Li Kerui. The group is mainly engaged in the research of functional materials such as intelligent colour change/deformation, energy conversion and storage, sensing and catalysis, etc. Especially for the application of smart clothing, the group has developed a series of flexible and wearable functional materials and fibre devices, which have a wide range of applications in the fields of aerospace, national defence and military, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction. He has been published in Science, Science Advances, Nature Communications, Chemical Reviews, Chemical Society Reviews, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, PNP, and other journals. In addition, he has published more than 500 papers in international journals such as Science Advances, Nature Communications, Chemical Reviews, Chemical Society Reviews, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, PNAS, etc., and has been granted more than 200 Chinese patents. The main research areas of the group are as follows:
