Stimuli‐Responsive Microjets with Reconfigurable Shape [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie, 2014 AbstractFlexible thermoresponsive polymeric microjets are formed by the self‐folding of polymeric layers containing a thin Pt film used as catalyst for self‐propulsion in solutions containing hydrogen peroxide. The flexible microjets can reversibly fold and unfold in an accurate manner by applying changes in temperature to the solution in which they ...
