Photothermally triggered fast responding hydrogels incorporating a hydrophobic moiety for light-controlled microvalves.Iron oxide nanoparticles dispersed within a thermally responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) hydrogel matrix effectively convert the photo energy of visible light of modest intensity into thermal energy, providing the efficient means to trigger changes in volumetric swelling of hydrogels.
