A redhead: Surface‐grafted hydrophilic polymer brushes (see picture) with high molecular weight and graft density caused reversible bending and stretching of softpolymeric substrates on a macroscale. The shape change of the substrate was tuned to respond to different stimuli including humidity, temperature, and pH.
Devices including a flexible substrate and a grafted polymer brush coating on at least one surface of the flexible substrate and methods for making and using such devices are provided herein. The grafted polymer brush included on the devices allow for controlled bending of the device during use.
