Abstract:Reconfigurability within hydrogels has emerged as an attractive functionality that can be used in information encryption, cargo/delivery, environmental remediation, soft robotics, and medicine. Here micro‐patterned polymer hydrogels capable of temperature‐dependent reconfigurability are fabricated. For this, the hydrogels are provided with micron‐sized Pickering emulsion droplets stabilized by magnetic particles, which are capable of harnessing energy from external force fields. The droplets can both migrate u… Show more
