Published: January 2016

Electrohydrodynamic cojetting has been employed to synthesize compartmentalized microfibers from thermally responsive hydrogels. The synthesis of the hydrogels as well as their transformation into compartmentalized microcylinders is discussed. After programmable shape-shifting, snail-like particles are obtained that undergo functional and structural reconfiguration in response to a change in temperature.
