Adaptive Hydrogels With Spatiotemporal Stiffening Using pH‐Modulating Enzymes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The chemomechanical coupling in an adaptive hydrogel is studied to further the development of adaptive hydrogels. This coupling is achieved by embedding a pH‐modulating enzyme in a pH‐responsive hydrogel. The enzymatic reaction can be triggered locally, which generates a pH‐decreasing wave throughout the system, increasing the crosslinking density and ...

Ionically cross-linked alginate hydrogels as drug delivery systems for analgesics in broiler chickens : thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Masters of Science in Chemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2017 Treating birds with analgesic drugs requires continuous injections of near lethal concentrations to maintain the therapeutic dose in the blood plasma. This is due to birds having higher metabolic rates than mammals.

Robust Polymer Hydrogels Improve Electric‐Fish‐Inspired Batteries
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Electric‐fish‐inspired hydrogel batteries based on ion‐concentration gradients offer an attractive route to soft power sources; however, the poor mechanical properties of existing hydrogels limit device assembly and performance. Here, we report poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate hydrogels that enable ion‐gradient batteries composed of

Structural and Chemical Engineering of Sub‐Nanochannel Membranes Toward Ion Selectivity
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes recent advances in structural and chemical engineering of sub‐nanochannels for ion selectivity. We first introduce fundamental ion transport mechanisms within sub‐nanochannels, followed by strategies to tune pore size, geometry, and surface functionalities, categorized into charge‐based, ion‐recognition, hydrophilic bonding, and ...
