Control of Spatio-temporal Structures of Polymer Microspheres toward Advanced Materials

我们制备了一系列功能性聚合物微球，这些微球将能够作为先进材料的组成部分。为了合成振荡微球，将化学振荡反应的催化剂引入到水凝胶颗粒中。用动态光散射、电子显微镜和小角X射线散射等手段对其结构进行了表征。通过组装微凝胶，我们能够获得振荡式软致动器，这很容易通过粘合微凝胶来形成。

We prepared a series of functional polymer microspheres which will be able to be constituents of advanced materials. To synthesize oscillating microspheres, the catalysts of the chemical oscillating reaction were incorporated to hydrogel particles. The structures of the particles were characterized by dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering. By assembling the microgels, we were able to obtain oscillating soft actuators, which were formed easily by bonding the microgels.
