Inspired by the assembly of Lego toys, hydrogel building blocks with heterogeneous responsiveness are assembled utilizing macroscopic supramolecular recognition as the adhesion force. The Lego hydrogel provides 3D transformation upon pH variation. After disassembly of the building blocks by changing the oxidation state, they can be re-assembled into a completely new shape.
受乐高玩具组装的启发,利用宏观超分子识别作为粘附力来组装具有异质响应性的水凝胶砌块。Lego 水凝胶在 pH 值变化时提供 3D 转换。通过改变氧化状态拆卸砌块后,它们可以重新组装成全新的形状。
