摘要: Programmable asymmetric hydrogels with tunable structure/shape or physical/chemical properties in response to external stimuli show particular significance in smart systems, but there is lack of simple, rapid, and cheap strategy to design such hydrogel systems. Herein, we report a one-step electrodeposition method to construct chitosan asymmetric hydrogels with tunable thickness and pore size that can be conveniently modulated by the process parameters. Our approach greatly simplifies the process of hydrogel preparation with complex shapes and asymmetric structure organization. The formation mechanism of asymmetric structure has been proposed, based on gelation behavior and entanglement of chitosan chains in the hydrogel-solution system under the electric field. By changing the shape of the electrodes, hydrogels with the morphology of strip, tube, flower, etc. can be obtained precisely and conveniently. They can perform programmable 2D to 3D smart dynamic deformation under pH and metal ions stimulation, indicating the broad application potential in soft robot and biosensor areas.
