PHOTO-GUIDED SHAPE TRANSFORMATION OF COMPOSITE HYDROGEL SHEETS
… hydrogel tube. The hydrogel tube was formed via self-rolling of 2D hydrogel sheet after releasing stress introduced during photo-polymerization. The introduced magnetic nanorod brought multi-functionality to the hydrogel tube. The self-rolled tube was used to load, transport and release cargo …

Strain-induced self-rolled-up semiconductor micro/nanotubes: Fabrication and characterization
Strain-induced self-rolled-up semiconductor nanotubes are a new type of building block for three-dimensional architectures. Semiconductor nanotubes (SNTs) take advantage of the lattice mismatch between different layers and are formed when the strained semiconductor layers are released from the …
