title: Lamellar hydrogels with high toughness and ternary tunable photonic stop-band.
abstract: A lamellar hydrogel with high toughness, exhibiting ternary stimuli-responsive structural color changes has been synthesized. The gel consists of alternating hard layers of a polymeric surfactant (PDGI) and soft layers of interpenetrating networks of poly(acrylamide)-poly(acrylic acid). Reversible, wide range switching of the stop-band position was achieved using different external stimuli of temperature, pH, and stress/strain.
