Transient Stiffness Patterning in Hydrogels Driven by Dissipative Mechanochemical Coupling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Force‐induced disulfide bond rupture in a polymer‐based hydrogel, coupled with chemical or electrochemical reoxidation, leads to the transient modulation of the hydrogel's stiffness properties. High spatiotemporal control is achieved by this dissipative process, enabling the development of out‐of‐equilibrium stiffness patterns and transient, dose ...
