Bistable Dual‐Responsive Azobenzene‐co‐PNIPAM Soft Microactuators via Two‐Photon Direct Laser Writing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work shows the successful integration of intrinsic bistability into thermoresponsive soft microactuators, fabricated by two‐photon polymerization utilizing the (E)–(Z)‐isomerization of azobenzenes. The bistable behavior accounts for a reversible volume change of Azo_pNIPAM microactuators initiated by light irradiation, at constant ambient ...

Mimicking Life: Autonomous Oscillating Artificial Cilia Driven by Chemical Power

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The synthesis and motion analysis of chemically actuated, individually autonomous artificial cilia are presented. Driven by an internal chemical reaction, the self‐driven individual cilia require no external stimuli. They undergo periodic oscillatory motion with a 3D beat pattern and exhibit chemotactic shifts, reminiscent of biological systems.

Tailored Dual Responsive Hybrid Gelatin Methacryloyl/Poly[2‐(Dimethylamino)Ethyl Methacrylate] Hydrogels for Efficient Ibuprofen Release in Topical Applications

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
GelMA/DMAEMA hybrid hydrogels for release of ibuprofen. ABSTRACT In this study, biocompatible hydrogels intended for topical delivery of ibuprofen were synthesized from gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and 2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) by varying their proportions. The impact of different GelMA and DMAEMA ratios was comprehensively evaluated

Bottom‐up Strategies for Generating Polymer Protocells That Mimic Cellular Communication

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This review focuses on polymeric protocells produced using a bottom‐up approach. Polymer‐based assemblies guarantee stability and designability by adjusting the properties of the amphiphilic copolymers used. The review covers protocell architectures, production, and their intra‐ and intercellular communication mechanisms.

3D Polymeric Nanonetworks: From Self‐Assembly to Advanced Fabrication

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review provides the first systematic cross‐method comparison of fabrication techniques for 3D polymeric nanonetworks. It evaluates five key strategies—block copolymer self‐assembly, hyper‐crosslinking, template‐assisted methods, 3D printing, and nanolithography—across critical metrics including resolution, throughput, scalability, and material ...
