Thermoresponsive Hydrogels with Improved Actuation Function by Interconnected Microchannels

Stimuli−responsive hydrogels are important in soft actuators research, as they change volume in response to environmental factors. Thermoresponsive hydrogels, such as poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM), typically have slow response rates and exert comparably weak forces, which usually limit their...
