Synthetic Chromatophores for Color and Pattern Morphing Skins. [PDF]
Adv MaterCephalopods use chromatophore organs (muscle‐actuated pigment sacs) to alter their skin color and pattern. Synthetic chromatophores, which closely mimic the mechano‐optical process found in cephalopods using stimuli‐responsive microscale hydrogel actuators, are reported.

Surface Functionalization of Cotton Fabrics by Photo-Grafting for pH Sensing Applications
Frontiers in Materials, 2020 This paper investigates the photo-grafting of a halochromic molecule on cotton fabric surfaces. Nitrazine yellow (NY) dye was modified with a methacrylate moiety (GMA) obtaining a photo-reactive dye (GMA-NY), which was covalently grafted onto the ...

Light induced grafting-from strategies as powerfull tool for surface modification
eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2019 Chemical-induced grafting processes can be performed either a grafting-to method, where preformed polymer chains are grafted on the surface previously activated, or alternatively, the polymer chains can be grown from the surface via a grafting-from ...
