The IAM (IFE) team originated when the discipline leader, Academician Wei Huang, was working in Singapore. At the time, he worked at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he co-founded the Singapore Institute of Materials Research (IMRE) and organized the organic optoelectronics team, one of the first in the world involved in this field. In this century, he led the team as one of the earliest "overseas returnees" to return to China since the reform and opening up, and planned and promoted the construction of the "985" discipline innovation platform for advanced materials in Fudan University. In 2006, Academician Huang Wei led the team to transfer to Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, starting from scratch in the communication-oriented colleges and achieved preliminary results. In 2007, it was approved to be the Key Laboratory of Organic Electronics and Information Display in Jiangsu Province, and in 2010, it was approved to build the first national key laboratory cultivation base of organic electronics and Information Display in the field of strategic emerging industries.

In August 2012, the Institute of Advanced Materials (IAM) of Nanjing University of Technology was established, which became the main construction body of "overseas talent buffer base" of Nanjing Industrial Group. In recent years, The team has been approved to build the National Cooperative Innovation Center for Advanced Biological and Chemical Manufacturing in Jiangsu (Flexible Electronics Research Department), the National International Joint Research Center for Flexible Electronic Materials and Devices, the National Flexible Electronics Innovation and Intelligence Base (" 111 "plan), the National Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics Cultivation and construction site, the Flexible Electronics International Cooperation Joint Laboratory of the Ministry of Education, and Jiangsu Flexible Electronics Electronic engineering laboratory and many other provincial and international joint scientific research platforms.

In April 2017, Academician Huang Wei devoted himself to the construction of the western part of the motherland, and the Institute of Flexible Electronics (IFE) of Northwestern Polytechnical University was established, trying to create a high-end science and technology think tank through subversive technology, and serve the major strategy of national western development. In the past two years, the Institute has been approved to build research platforms such as the Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronic Materials and Devices of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics of Shaanxi Province, the Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics of Xi 'an, the Xi 'an Flexible Electronics Engineering Technology Research and Development Center, and the National Flexible Intelligent micro-Nano Electronics Innovation and Intelligence Base (" 111 "Plan).
