Ionotropic Gradients: Ionic Hydrogels with Biomimetic 4D‐Printed Mechanical Gradients: Models for Soft‐Bodied Aquatic Organisms (Adv. Funct. Mater. 28/2019)

In article number 1806723, Ralph G. Nuzzo and co‐workers use direct ink writing to prepare soft sea jelly‐mimetic aquatic actuators made from hydrogel materials that integrate structure, composition, and ion‐based gradients to allow mimicry of the dynamic and flexural features of cnidarian organisms...
