Abstract:Hydrogel devices with mechanical toughness and tunable functionalities are highly desirable for practical long‐term applications such as sensing and actuation elements for soft robotics. However, existing hydrogels have poor mechanical properties, slow rates of response, and low functionality. In this work, two‐dimensional hydrogel actuators are proposed and formed on the self‐assembly of graphene oxide (GO) and deoxynucleic acid (DNA). The self‐assembly process is driven by the GO‐induced transition of double… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
