Programmable Microscale Actuation of Hydrogels With Tunable Response via Printing on Particles

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 1, 8 January 2026.
We fabricate microscale hydrogels with precisely tunable phase transition temperatures (23–60 °C) by particle‐templated two‐photon polymerization using chemically tailored inks. Multi‐material printing enables stepwise thermal actuation through sequential volume changes at distinct VPTTs, while pH‐dependent hysteresis drives anisotropic actuation with ...
