  • In recent years, stimuli-responsive materials have garnered interest due to their ability to change properties when exposed to external stimuli, making it useful for various applications including gas separation. Light is a very attractive trigger for responsive materials due to its speedy and non-invasive nature as well as the potential to reduce energy costs significantly. Even though light is deemed as an appealing stimulus for the development of stimuli-responsive materials, this avenue has yet to be extensively researched, as evidenced by the fewer works done on the photo-responsive membranes. Of these, there are even less research done on photo-responsive materials for the purpose of gas separation, thus, we have collected the examples that answer both these criteria in this review. This review covers the utilisation of photo-responsive materials specifically for gas separation purposes. Photo-chromic units, their integration into gas separation systems, mechanism and research that have been done on the topic so far are discussed.

  • 생체 적합하고 온도 및 pH에 대한 민감성을 갖는 하이드로젤로서 Pluronic과 acrylic acid (AAc) 공단량체를 도입한 개질 PHEMA 가교젤을 광중합법을 사용하여 제조하고 그 팽윤거동을 조사하였다. 하이드로젤에 도입된 온도민감성 Pluronic의 영향 때문에 낮은 온도에서는 높은 팽윤거동을 보이다가 졸-젤 전이 이상의 온도에서 젤 수축이 일어나고 팽윤비의 감소가 나타났다. 한편 이온성의 AAc 공단량체의 도입과 함량 증가에 따라 하이브리드 젤의 팽윤비는 증가하였으며, 이들 구조가 갖는 일정 pH 영역에서 이온화 영향으로 pH에 민감한 팽윤거동을 나타내었다. 한편 SEM을 통해 하이드로젤의 다공성 모폴로지 변화를 관찰하였다.

  • Photonic band gap (PBG) materials have been of great interest due to their potential applications in science and technology. Their applications can be further extended when PBG becomes tunable against various chemical and electrical stimuli. In recent, it was found that tunable photonic band gap materials can be achieved by incorporating stimuli-responsive smart gels into PBG materials. For example, the characteristic volume phase transition of gels in response to the various external stimuli including temperature, pH, ionic strength, solvent compositions and electric field were recently combined with the unique optical properties of photonic crystals to form unprecedented highly responsive optical components. Since these responsive photonic crystals are capable of reversibly converting chemical or electrical energy into characteristic optical signals, they have been considered as a good platform for label-free chemical or biological detection, actuators or optical switches as well as a model system for investigating gel swelling behavior. Herein, we report block copolymer photonic gels self-assembled from polystyrene-b-poly (2-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) block copolymers. In this talk, we are going to demonstrate that selective swelling of lamellar structure can be effectively utilized for fabricating PBG materials with extremely large tunability. Optical properties and their applications will be discussed.

  • The promise of biomimetic smart structures that can function as sensors and actuators in biomedicine is enormous. Technological development in the field of stimuli-responsive shape memory polymers have opened up a new avenue of applications for polymer-based synthetic actuators. Such synthetic actuators mimic various attributes of living organisms including responsiveness to stimuli, shape memory, selectivity, motility, and organization. This article briefly reviews various stimuli-responsive shape memory polymers and their application as bioactuators. Although the technological advancements have prototyped the potential applications of these smart materials, their widespread commercialization depends on many factors such as sensitivity, versatility, moldability, robustness, and cost.

  • Physically responsive field-effect transistors (physi-FETs), which are sensitive to physical stimuli, have been studied for decades. However, the primary issue of separating responses by sensing materials from interferences by other subcomponents in a FET transducer under global physical stimuli has not been completely resolved. Recent challenges of structural design and employing smart materials with a large electro-physical coupling effect for flexible physi-FETs still remain. In this article, we propose directly integrating nanocomposites of barium titanate (BT) nanoparticles (NPs) and highly crystalline poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) as gate dielectrics into flexible organic FETs to precisely separate and quantify tiny variations of remnant polarization caused by mechanical stimuli. Investigations under static stimuli resulted in first-reported giant-positive piezoelectric coefficients of d33 up to 960 pC/N, presumably due to significant contribution of the intrinsic piezoelectricity of BT NPs and P(VDF-TrFE) crystallites. This approach provides a general research direction, and not limited to physic-FETs.

  • 현재 항암제의 낮은 치료 효율과 부작용을 해결하기 위해 고분자 기반의 약물전달체의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기존의 고분자기반의 약물 전달체는 우수한 결과를 보이는 등 상당한 진전이 있었음에도 불구하고, 대부분 혈중에서 안정성이 감소하여 표적 부위에 도달하기 전에 약물이 방출될 뿐만 아니라 오랜 시간 동안에 약물을 방출함으로써 부작용 및 낮은 치료 효율을 초래한다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 총론에서는 이러한 비효율적인 약물 방출의 문제점을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 독성이 없고 생체 적합한 천연 고분자 키토산에 자극 응답성 물질을 도입하여 혈중에서 안정성을 높이고 표적 부위에서 약물을 과다 방출하여 치료 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

  • A thermally responsive hydrogel has reversibility with temperature during swelling. Here, we proposed origami inspired temperature sensor by using multi-layered hydrogel film. The formation of patterned stripes on microscale film drives bending to an angle that can be controlled linearly. Although temperature range was not wide, measured sensitivity of sensors has high resolution and accuracy. It providing a powerful platform for the design of sensitive sensors and that easily adapt other type of sensors in microscale.

  • 소프트 액추에이터는 구성 재료 자체가 가지는 유연성과 부드러운 움직임으로 인해 의료 산업과 제조업 등 다양한 분야에서의 응용이 기대되고 있다. 자극감응성 하이드로젤은 유연하며 다양한 주위 자극에 의해 큰 부피 변화를 보일 수 있는 물질로서 소프트 액추에이터 재료로서 적합하다. 하지만, 자극감응성 하이드로젤의 부피 변화는 온도 변화의 속도 및 용매의 확산 속도에 기인하여 대부분의 작동 조건에서 느린 속도로 진행되며 이는 액추에이터의 반응속도를 제한한다. 본 연구에서는 온도감응성 하이드로젤인 polydiethylacrylamide에 광열효과를 가지는 공액고분자를 도입하여 빛에 의해 구동되는 소프트 액추에이터를 구현하였고, 공액고분자의 광열효과에 의한 반응속도의 개선효과를 조사하였다. 공액고분자의 도입에 의해 반응시간이 41% 개선됨을 확인하였고 이는 열전달 효율의 개선에 의한 것으로 짐작할 수 있다. 최종적으로 이러한 개선된 반응속도의 하이드로젤이 적용된 소프트 그리퍼를 제작하였고 반응속도를 조사하였다.
