Poly(Ionic Liquid) Semi-Interpenetrating Network Multi-Responsive Hydrogels

Poly(Ionic Liquid) Semi-Interpenetrating Network Multi-Responsive Hydrogels

Herein we describe poly(ionic liquid) hydrogel actuators that are capable of responding to multiple stimuli, namely temperature, ionic strength and white light irradiation. Using two starting materials, a crosslinked poly ionic liquid (PIL) and a linear poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-spiropyran-co-...
