摘要

Materials with embedded vascular networks afford rapid and enhanced control over bulk material properties including thermoregulation and distribution of active compounds such as healing agents or stimuli. Vascularized materials have a wide range of potential applications in self-healing systems and tissue engineering constructs. Here, the application of vascularized materials for accelerated phase transitions in stimuli-responsive microfluidic networks is reported. Poly(ester amide) elastomers are hygroscopic and exhibit thermo-mechanical properties (T_g ≈ 37 ℃) that enable heating or hydration to be used as stimuli to induce glassy-rubbery transitions. Hydration-dependent elasticity serves as the basis for stimuli-responsive shape-memory microfluidic networks. Recovery kinetics in shape-memory microfluidics are measured under several operating modes. Perfusion-assisted delivery of stimulus to the bulk volume of shape-memory microfluidics dramatically accelerates shape recovery kinetics compared to devices that are not perfused. The recovery times are 4.2 ± 0.1 h and 8.0 ± 0.3 h in the perfused and non-perfused cases, respectively. The recovery kinetics of the shape-memory microfluidic devices operating in various modes of stimuli delivery can be accurately predicted through finite element simulations. This work demonstrates the utility of vascularized materials as a strategy to reduce the characteristic length scale for diffusion, thereby accelerating the actuation of stimuli-responsive bulk materials.
