Abstract

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels display a variety of interesting features that make them ideal candidates for technological applications. The applicable stimuli range from temperature, pH, and (bio)chemical species to electric fields and light; some materials can even be controlled by multiple stimuli. Hydrogel materials can be synthesized by a single-step free-radical polymerization, and various methods to introduce them into a final system are discussed. This chapter covers applications of smart hydrogels in various (micro-)systems starting from transparent conductors over stimuli-sensitive optical components and drug delivery devices for medical applications. Intensively discussed are microfluidic applications starting from single components as thermostats, chemostats, and valves toward complex integrated systems. Finally, we outline the implications of autonomous microfluidic devices to the field of chemical information processing.
