Photo-responsive hydrogel-based re-programmable metamaterials

Abstract This paper explores a novel programmable metamaterial using stimuli-responsive hydrogels with a demonstration of bandgap formation and tuning. Specifically, a photo-responsive hydrogel beam that can achieve re-programmable periodicity in geometric and material properties through patterned l...
