2018-2019年，課題組圍繞柔性光電功能材料與器件開展研究工作，取得以下主要研究進展。
（1）基于“剛柔并濟”二元協同網絡結構，發展了兼具可拉伸性、導電性、溫敏性的導電凝膠材料，突破了現有導電凝膠伸長率極限，實現了導電凝膠的超長拉伸性（1130%）和多功能性。
（2）在大分子交聯的凝膠網絡中引入離子液體構筑離子液體凝膠，將離子液體凝膠的拉伸性提高到850%，實現了凝膠材料在寬溫度范圍內（-18 oC-90 oC）的機械柔韌性和導電性。
（3）采用常見的高分子，如聚乙烯醇（PVA）、聚丙烯酸鈉（PAANa）為原料，通過簡單的凍融處理和Tb3+負載，構筑了全物理交聯凝膠網絡，實現了兼具發光性、導電性、可回收性的多功能凝膠材料。
（4）凝膠、自愈合復合凝膠和可逆粘附凝膠等離子導電凝膠材料。
相關研究成果為改善柔性電子材料的可拉伸性，拓展柔性電子器件的功能及應用領域提供了理論依據和技術支撐。相關研究成果在ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces、Journal of Materials Chemistry C等期刊發表，得到國家自然科學基金、陜西省科技廳重大基礎研究計劃、陜西省自然科學基礎研究計劃面上項目的支持。來自十多個國家，高分子材料、柔性電子、聚合物電子等多個領域的院士、專家、學者在Chemical Society Reviews、Advanced Materials、Chem等國際頂級期刊對相關研究工作給予肯定并引用。
