Photocurable Emulsion-Templated Organohydrogels with Elastomer-in-Hydrogel Architecture for pH-Responsive Soft Actuation

Soft actuators are stimuli-responsive materials capable of reversibly changing their shape/volume owing to external stimuli such as pH, temperature, and light. Hydrogels based on methacrylated chitosan (CsMa) are interesting pH-responsive biomaterials that exhibit high water uptake, pKa around 6.0, biocompatibility,...
