Summary of Research

Current research involves smart polymers, 3D printing, biomaterials, regenerative medicine, and stretchable electronics. The research has been focusing on design and synthesis of a series of functional biomaterials with attractive bioactivity, bioelastomers with superior mechanical properties, dynamic bonds based smart polymers with intelligent properties such as self-healing and shape memory. Combined with advanced processing technologies especially 3D printing, these new materials have been efficiently applied for the regeneration of multiple tissues including heart, uterus and nerve, and wearable electronic devices. Dr. You has published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers, applied for more than 30 patents with 12 granted, and contributed one book chapter. The research has gotten funding support from various sides including National Natural Science Foundation of China, National High Technology Research and Development Program (863 program), and the Department of Defense USA. He has delivered more than 30 invited lectures in international and national conferences.
