Bending behavior of an electrically activated complex forming hydrogel

Summary The complex forming poly[(ethylene glycol-co-proplene glycol)-g-acrylamide]: polyacrylic acid interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel is able to bend under electric field stimuli. pH, ionic strength gradients and voltage can influence it's bending degree. So we may improve the sample' responsive speed through manipulating those factor in the further study in order to put it into the biomedical application.
