Abstract

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels undergo shape transformation in response to change in ambient environment and have potential applications in tissue engineering, robotics, actuator and biosensing. Generally, the Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are controlled by unique external stimuli and the response is also specific. Here, we developed redox-regulated and temperature responsive macroscopic gel assembly system, using polyacrylamide-based hydrogel, which was functionalized with ferrocene (Fc) as a guest hydrogel and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) gel modified with β-cyclodextrin as a host hydrogel. It was observed that the variations in the redox potential induced reversible assembly/dissociation transition in a bi-gel strip and optimization of βCD contents provided fast bending speed and large bending degree, which can be applied to develop temperature sensitive switch.
