Dual Salt- and Thermoresponsive Programmable Bilayer Hydrogel Actuators with Pseudo-Interpenetrating Double-Network Structures

Abstract: Development of smart soft actuators is highly important for fundamental research and industrial applications but has proved to be extremely challenging. In this work, we present a facile, one-pot, one-step method to prepare dual-responsive bilayer hydrogels, consisting of a thermoresponsive poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (polyNIPAM) layer and a salt-responsive poly(3-(1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1 H-imidazol-3-ium-3-yl)propane-1-sulfonate) (polyVBIPS) layer. Both polyNIPAM and polyVBIPS layers exhibit a completely opposit… Show more

“…Therefore, the design and fabrication of anisotropic structures is fundamental for the development of hydrogel actuators. Up to now, various inhomogeneous structures including bilayer structures, gradient structures, patterned structures, oriented structures, and some others have been explored ( Figure ). In this section, we are going to discuss the diverse anisotropic structures of hydrogel actuators.…”

“…[ 107 ] Because of its softness, deformability, and the ability to absorb shock, the hydrogel‐based gripper is suitable to grip soft objects and has broad application in the biomedical field. [ 108–110 ] Shiblee et al fabricated a gripper made of bilayer structures of shape‐memory hydrogels printed by a customized stereolithographic printer. [ 59 ] The bilayer was composed of poly( N , N ‐dimethyl acrylamide‐ co ‐stearyl acrylate) [P(DMAAm‐ co ‐SA)]‐based hydrogels of various monomer concentrations of hydrophobic crystalline stearyl acrylate (SA).…”
