Abstract

Typical hydrogels undergo slow and continuous shape change. Inspired by the Venus Flytrap, the current work presents a hydrogel assembly that can reversibly undergo a non-continuous rapid snapping shape change due to a bi-stable structure of the assembly. In particular, the reversible snapping change goes beyond the Venus Flytrap and is not known in the literature.
