Abstract

Free-standing Hydrogel Sheets Article 2300374 by Julian Thiele and co-workers showcases the design of free-standing functional hydrogel sheets based on spatially controlled assembly of microgels. Material-tolerant aspiration at hole-bearing glass plates with segment control allows for fabricating mechanically resistant multimaterial sheets made of two covalently connected microgel species. The additive manufacturing-like process provides a promising path towards system integration in polymer materials.
