Force-triggered rapid microstructure growth on hydrogel surface for on-demand functions

Force-triggered rapid microstructure growth on hydrogel surface for on-demand functions

Living organisms are able to grow structures on their surface for specific applications. Here, the authors report on a force-triggered polymerisation mechanism of double-network hydrogels which allows for the growth of structures on polymer surfaces within seconds and demonstrate the creation of dif...
