title: Liquid crystalline inorganic nanosheets for facile synthesis of polymer hydrogels with anisotropies in structure, optical property, swelling/deswelling, and ion transport/fixation.
abstract: Macroscopically anisotropic hydrogels were synthesized by hybridization of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) with liquid crystalline inorganic nanosheets; their anisotropies in the structure and properties are demonstrated.
