Directional control of diffusion and swelling in megamolecular polysaccharide hydrogels is demonstrated by focusing on the anisotropic structures for water absorption. Due to the presence of a layered structure in the hydrogel, the directional control for diffusion parallel to the planar direction and swelling in the lateral direction are possible.
通过关注水吸收各向异性结构,展示了在巨型多糖水凝胶中扩散和溶胀的定向控制。由于水凝胶中存在层状结构,因此可以实现平行于平面方向的扩散和侧向溶胀的定向控制。
