Photoresponsive Smart Hydrogels and Their Versatile Applications: A Review
Anshupriya Shome
Abstract:Stimuli responsive hydrogels are emerging as smart materials due to their tunable chemical and physical properties in response to various stimuli like pH, temperature, chemicals, pressure, electrical or light. Photoresponsive hydrogels are more attractive for versatile applications as their properties can be manipulated via contact free fine tuning of wavelength and intensity of light. If designed properly photoresponsive hydrogels could also have inherent biocompatibility. Their smart responsiveness along wit… Show more
