Simultaneous control of Gaussian curvature and buckling direction by swelling of asymmetric trilayer hydrogel hybrids

Abstract

Trilayer polymer films consisting of a thermoresponsive hydrogel sandwiched by rigid layers of a glassy polymer patterned into parallel striped features drive temperature-responsive shape-morphing with control over buckling direction.
