Smart Hydrogels with Antibacterial Properties Built from All Natural Building Blocks

Smart hydrogels with multistimuli responsiveness have been increasingly exploited as soft matters for biomedical applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and bioactuators. While many of the effects have been well documented, the facile fabrication of multiresponsive hydrogels with specific functionality is met with profound challenges, particularly in the redundant synthesis of macromolecular building blocks and the integration of...
