Dynamic Switching of Helical Microgel Ribbons

[Image: see text] We report on a microscopic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel ribbon, coated by a thin gold layer, that shows helical coiling. Confined swelling and shrinkage of the hydrogel below and above its characteristic volume phase transition leads to a temperature actuated reversal of th...
