description | Soft actuators have attracted extensive attention for promising applications in drug delivery, microfluidic switches, artificial muscles and flexible sensors. However, the performance of pH-responsive hydrogel actuators, such as regarding reversible bending property and adhesive property, remains to be improved. In this study, inspired by drosera leaves, we have fabricated high-performance bilayer, pH-responsive poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid-3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid)(P(AAm-AAc-3-AAPBA)) based on the copolymers of AAm, AAc and 3-AAPBA. The pH-sensitive actuators were fabricated by ultraviolet polymerization of the P(AAm-AAc-3-AAPBA) layer as the active actuating layer and the PAAm layer as the auxiliary actuating layer. The effects of pH, glucose concentration and content of 3-AAPBA on bending behavior of P(AAm-AAc-3-AAPBA)/PAAm bilayer actuators were discussed. By tuning the pH of media, the soft actuator could achieve fast and large-amplitude bidirectional bending behaviors. The bending orientation and bending degree can be reversibly and precisely adjusted. More importantly, P(AAm-AAc-3-AAPBA) hydrogel shows good adhesive property in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution; thus, complex structures have been fabricated. In addition, the bilayer hydrogel structures have been demonstrated as soft actuators, bionic flowers and bionic manipulators. The proposed pH-responsive bilayer actuator shows great potential for drug delivery and other medical systems. |
