Bioinspired hydrophobic pseudo-hydrogel for programmable shape-morphing

Abstract Inspired by counterintuitive water “swelling” ability of the hydrophobic moss of the genus Sphagnum (Peat moss), we prepared a hydrophobic pseudo-hydrogel (HPH), composed of a pure hydrophobic silicone elastomer with a tailored porous structure. In contrast to conventional hydrogels, HPH ac...
