Functional Stimuli-Responsive Gels: Hydrogels and Microgels [PDF]

open access: yesGels, 2018
One strategy that has gained much attention in the last decades is the understanding and further mimicking of structures and behaviours found in nature, as inspiration to develop materials with additional functionalities. This review presents recent advances in stimuli-responsive gels with emphasis on functional hydrogels and microgels.

Amoeba-like self-oscillating polymeric fluids with autonomous sol-gel transition

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Most polymeric materials that show sol-gel transitions are unidirectional and stimuli-responsive systems. Here the authors show a block copolymer solution that undergoes autonomous and periodic sol-gel transitions under constant conditions.

Polydiacetylene-based gels for solvent discrimination and formation of Au/Ag nanoparticles with embedded photocatalytic performance

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2021
two novel gelators N-TPY-DA and O-TPY-DA were designed. By introduction of Eu3+ followed by UV-irradiation, Eu3+/O-TPY-PDA polymeric gel with dark purple color and red emission color was obtained.
