Shape‐Changing Multiphase Microparticles from Complex Liquid Crystal Emulsions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline network (LCN) microparticles are prepared from single, double (Janus), and triple emulsions through a simple and scalable bulk‐emulsification strategy. Under heating, the particles exhibit robust, reversible, large‐amplitude deformations that depend both on the morphology and the liquid crystals director field configuration.

Polymer-based thermoresponsive hydrogels for controlled drug delivery

Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2022
Controlled drug delivery through hydrogels is generally limited by the poor barrier that polymeric network can create to diffusion mechanism. Stimuli responsive polymers can help in this way guaranteeing that delivery can be sustained and finely controlled using an external stimulus.This review provides an overview of recent studies about the use of ...
