Magnetically responsive pickering foams.
We introduce a new class of Pickering foams which can be manipulated using a magnetic field. These foams are stabilized by a mixture of magnetic and nonmagnetic particles. They exhibit excellent stability in the absence of a magnetic field, but can be rapidly destroyed on demand with the application of a threshold field. We characterize their stability in the absence of a magnetic field by meas...
متن کاملStimuli-Responsive Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Nature employs a variety of tactics to precisely time and execute the processes and mechanics of life, relying on sequential sense and response cascades to transduce signaling events over multiple length and time scales. Many of these tactics, such as the activation of a zymogen, involve the direct manipulation of a material by a stimulus. Similarly, effective therapeutics and diagnostics requi...
متن کاملStimuli responsive polymers for biomedical applications.
Polymers that can respond to external stimuli are of great interest in medicine, especially as controlled drug release vehicles. In this critical review, we consider the types of stimulus response used in therapeutic applications and the main classes of responsive materials developed to date. Particular emphasis is placed on the wide-ranging possibilities for the biomedical use of these polymer...
متن کاملStimuli-responsive polymers and their applications
Responsive polymer-based materials are capable of altering their chemical and/or physical properties upon exposure to external stimuli. These materials have been intensively studied over the years for a diverse range of applications, e.g., for on-demand drug delivery, tissue generation/repair, biosensing, smart coatings, and artificial muscles. Here, we review recent advances in the areas of se...
متن کاملEmerging applications of stimuli-responsive polymer materials.
Responsive polymer materials can adapt to surrounding environments, regulate transport of ions and molecules, change wettability and adhesion of different species on external stimuli, or convert chemical and biochemical signals into optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical signals, and vice versa. These materials are playing an increasingly important part in a diverse range of applications, ...
