Thermally-Responsive Hydrogels Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) as the Thermal Switch

The thermal switch is a device that can modulate the heat flux and create a huge gap between the “On” and “Off” state, which has been widely used in many applications. However, owing to weak biocompatibility and complicated structures, most of existing thermal switch devices mostly are difficult to use in some emerging mobile health areas, such as soft electronics and biomedical applications. Herein, it is reported that a...
