P5.8 - Light-stimulated hydrogel actuators with incorporated graphene oxide for microfluidic applications
Graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles, which are able to convert light energy into heat, were incorporated into temperature-sensitive Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (P-NIPAAm) hydrogels. In contrast to pure P-NIPAAm hydrogels, the new polymers with GO showed significant sensitivity towards light as a stimul...

Graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles, which are able to convert light energy into heat, were incorporated into temperature-sensitive Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (P-NIPAAm) hydrogels. In contrast to pure P-NIPAAm hydrogels, the new polymers with GO showed significant sensitivity towards light as a stimulus. The photothermal conversion and heating process of hydrogels under illumination were investigated by IRthermography. Furthermore, first experiments for a possible application as light-driven microvalves within lab-on-chip systems were performed. |
