Prof. Chen Yuyue has obtained a Ph.D. in Biomechanical Engineering from Shinshu University in Japan and has been recognized as a young and middle-aged expert with outstanding contributions in Jiangsu Province. He has served as an editorial board member for journals such as Journal of Textile Guide, Knitting Industry, Journal of Clothing, and Silk, and is a well-known fiber material expert.

Prof. Chen Yuyue, who has devoted himself to developing advanced silk-based materials since the 1990s, proposed the hypothesis of micropore generation on natural fiber, which is inspired by the supramolecular theory presented by French scientist Jean-Marie Lehn who is Nobel Prize winner: the characteristic structures among silk fibrils are in accord with fundamental elements of supramolecular structure. Thus, in 2001, Prof. Chen received support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China on his research project Structure and Property Changes during the Differential Fabrication of Porous Silk Fibers, and a novel silk-based material-Bulk Stretch Silk was developed which provides excellent elasticity and bulkiness for silk fibers. As a result, wrinkle resistance and dyeing properties of silk-based textiles are dramatically improved as well.

In 2002, by the research Fabrication and Development of Bulk Stretch Silk, Prof. Chen won the second prize in College Science and Technology of China (Category Invention) awarded by National Ministry of Education, as well as the third prize in Science and Technology Achievement Award of Jiangsu Province. Moreover, his projects were supported by Innovation Fund for Small/Medium-sized Enterprises by National Ministry of Science and Technology, and the relevant products won the Gold Award at the International Silk Fair of China. In 2003, by novel silk materials, Prof. Chen addressed the international challenge that silk fabric deformed and wrinkled easily, which was considered, and he was acclaimed by media such as People's Daily (Overseas Edition) as a scientist who solved the world's problem of silk easy-wrinkle.

Subsequently, Tussah/Mulberry Elastic Silk was developed as second generation of novel silk material, achieving high elasticity of silk fibers without any chemical treatment. In 2005, his research Bulk Stretch Silk-based Yarn-Dyed Satins won the second prize in Textile Science and Technology of Hong Kong Mulberry and Hemp Foundation. In 2006, the project Industrialization of High-Performance Novel Silk-based Materials and relevant Products received support from Transformation of Major Achievement Project of Jiangsu Province (Project No. BA2006078), and the project Functional Modification of Silk with Micropores received support from Foundation of National Ministry of Education. In 2008, the project Industrialization of High-Performance Pure Silk-based Elastic Yarns and Relevant Products received support from Special Item of Novel Fiber by National Development and Reform Commission (09 National Debt Project), leading to a successful industrialization. In the same year, Fabrication and Products Development for Tussah/Mulberry elastic silk won the second prize in Progress in Scientific Technology of China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC).

Natural fibers, as formed fiber resource, are difficult to be artificially designed and synthesized, which is resulting in failure on achieving high-level further functionalization as chemical fibers. Prof. Chen Yuyue, considering the structural characteristics of natural fibers combined with the public's demand for biocompatibility, firstly proposed the theoretical concept that utilization of micro-pores inside the fibers is the key to functional modification of natural fibers. Under his guidance the research group successfully designed and synthesized hyperbranched polyimides (HBP) with a three-dimensional supramolecular cage structure, and developed controllable-sized, uniformly sized, highly dispersed, long-term stable, and self-healing nano-silver with ultra-fine particle size based on the nano-cage effect of HBP, which shows recognition and high affinity for natural fibers. Furthermore, self-assembly of nano-silver induced by active HBP was carried out inside natural fibers, achieving the oriented self-assembly and embedding of nano-silver inside fibers. Thus, long-lasting, antibacterial and antiviral textiles can be produced via this facile and efficient technological process. In 2008, this research received support from the Major Basic Research Project of Colleges in Jiangsu Province. With his breakthroughs in the field of nanomaterials research, in 2012, the project received support from the National Key Research and Development Program (Nano Project) by National Ministry of Science and Technology. In 2013, the project Industrialization of High-Performance Novel Silk Materials and Products won the first prize in Science and Technology Progress Awarded by CNTAC. To date, the antibacterial cotton textile products have been applied in medical dressings. And the project Development and Industrialization of Long-Lasting Antibacterial Functional Textiles Modified by Self-Assembled Nano-Silver received the third prize for Science and Technology Progress of Jiangsu Province in 2019. In 2020, long-lasting, effective antibacterial and antiviral textiles were developed successfully and achieved industrialization, which was reported by more than a dozen media outlets including Xinhua News Agency, China Science Daily, and Science and Technology Daily in December 2020. In 2022, the project Main-Industrialization of Safe and Protective, Highly Effective, Long-Lasting, Anti-bacterial and Anti-viral Cotton Knitted Fabrics received support from the Transformation of Major Science and Technology Achievement of Xuzhou, China.

Over the past thirty years, Prof. Chen Yuyue has presided and undertaken more than 10 projects from National Natural Science Foundation, National Ministry of Science and Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, National Ministry of Education, as well as that of provincial and municipal levels. He has obtained more than 70 national invention patents and published over 300 academic papers in domestic and foreign professional journals, including more than 50 SCI-indexed papers. In 2020, he was awarded the title of Highly Cited Scholar of China (released by microsite Highly Cited Scholars of China in 2021).

After years of teaching and research work, Prof. Chen Yuyue has trained a group of senior researchers. His supervised college students have won the gold medal in the National College Student Science and Technology Competition twice, and his supervised doctoral students have won the excellent doctoral thesis of "Wang Shanyuan" twice.
