Conference Introduction

Gel materials consist of a 3D network and fluid phase, featuring structural support, mass transfer, stimulus response and functional loading capabilities. As an important soft material platform, they connect fundamental research with engineering applications. By adjusting compositions, crosslinking structures and functional components, gels can be developed into hydrogels, organogels, ionogels, oleogels and aerogels, which are widely applied in biomedical engineering, new energy, environmental protection, flexible electronics, intelligent sensing and advanced manufacturing. Driven by the innovation of new materials and the Dual Carbon strategy, gel materials are rapidly moving toward engineering and industrialization. Solving fundamental scientific problems and breaking technical bottlenecks have become key to the high-quality development of the industry. Building on four previous sessions, the 5th Academic and Industrial Forum on Advanced Gel Materials will be held in Suzhou from October 21 to 22, 2026. With the theme Innovation-driven Development & Industrial Integration, the forum builds a cooperation platform for government, industry, academia, research institutions, end-users and investors. It focuses on core technologies and practical applications of gel materials, facilitates cross-field exchanges, and supports young researchers to jointly foster a sound innovation ecosystem.
