Near-infrared (NIR)-triggered artificial meniscus climbing was realized using a shape memory polymer (SMP) object. The SMP was coated with polypyrrole (PPy) overlayer, which can convert NIR light into heat. The flat PPy-coated SMP became curved up...
Double hydrophilic diblock copolymers (DHBCs) with a zwitterionic block of poly[2-(methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)] (PMPC) having degree of polymerization (DP) (n = 25) and other as thermo/pH-responsive poly[2-(dimethylaminoethyl methacryl...
An amphiphilic diblock copolymer (PChM-PNIPAM), composed of poly(cholesteryl 6-methacryloyloxy hexanoate) (PChM) and poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) blocks, was prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer radical polymeriza...
A series of amphiphilic diblock copolymers (PVAm-b-PVPin: AmPn = A82P6, A72P26, and A70P74) with different block lengths of hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA, A) and hydrophobic poly(vinyl pivalate) (PVPi, P) blocks were prepared. AmPn was synt...
