pH-Sensitive Hydrogel Bilayers: Investigation on Transient Swelling-Induced Bending through Analytical and FEM Approaches
pH-responsive hydrogels are recognized as versatile sensors and actuators due to their unique time-dependent properties. Specifically, pH-sensitive hydrogel-based bilayers exhibit remarkable bending capabilities when exposed to pH-triggered swelling. This study introduces a semi-analytical technique...
