Coil-globule transitions drive discontinuous volume conserving deformation in locally restrained gels

The equilibrium volume of a thermoresponsive polymer gel changes dramatically across a temperature due to the coil–globule transitions of the polymers. When cofacially oriented nanosheets are embedded in such a gel, the composite gel deforms at the temperature, without changing the volume, and the r...
