Abstract:Hydrogel‐based optical waveguides have attracted extensive attention in optogenetics, implantable photomedicine, and biosensors due to their excellent biocompatibility and tissue‐like modulus in compared with traditional SiO2‐based rigid optical fibers. However, the existing ion‐induced supramolecular assembly of alginate‐based hydrogel optical fibers commonly lack of long‐term stability due to poor mechanical property accompanied with swollen. In this paper, a novel catalytic surface polymerization method is … Show more
