Abstract
A Fe3+-ion cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose, Fe3+-CMC, redox-active gel exhibiting dissipative, transient stiffness properties is introduced. Chemical or photosensitized reduction of the higher-stiffness Fe3+-CMC to the lower-stiffness Fe2+-CMC gel, accompanied by the aerobic reoxidation of the Fe2+-CMC matrix, leads to the dissipative, transient stiffness, functional matrix. The light-induced, temporal, transient release of a load (Texas red dextran) and the light-triggered, transient mechanical bending of a poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (p-NIPAM)/Fe3+-CMC bilayer construct are introduced, thus demonstrating the potential use of the dissipative Fe3+-CMC gel for controlled drug release or soft robotic applications.
