Abstract:Photothermal responsive hydrogels are widely used in
bionic soft
actuators due to their remote-controlled capabilities and flexibility.
However, their weak mechanical properties and limited responsiveness
hinder their potential applications. To overcome this, we developed
an innovative laponite/MXene/PNIPAm (L

mechanically robust and exhibits excellent photothermally responsive
properties based on abundant hydrogen bonds. Notably, laponite clay
is used as a co-cross-lin… Show more
