Chemically-Fueled Transient Peptide Hydrogel enabling Programmable Time-Gated Functions

Abstract

Inspired by natural systems’ unprecedented temporal control, a recent interest has sparked toward realizing lifelike active materials for emerging functions. We introduce a minimal peptide capable of demonstrating chemically-fueled, programmable transient hydrogelation. Interesting time-gated functions are extracted in the context of fluidic guidance and burst release of a model drug. .
