title: A one-step hydrothermal route to programmable stimuli-responsive hydrogels.
abstract: A hydrothermal route to regulate the swelling and responsiveness properties of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogels is reported. During the process, water is the only reactive medium used, and the hydrogel properties can be programmed effectively.
