Abstract:Anisotropic bilayer hydrogel actuators are high‐performance materials engineered to exhibit unique and programmable mechanical properties, including varying stiffness and directional bending capabilities, by integrating two hydrogel layers with distinct responses to stimuli. However, programming and constructing these bilayer hydrogels remains challenging due to their lack of mechanical robustness, rapid responsiveness, and dual‐actuation capabilities, which hinder their practical applications and further deve… Show more
