2014 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Instructive and Stimuli Responsive Biomaterials

This session focuses on materials that respond to a given stimulus in a manner which is either biologically relevant or biologically inspired. Examples include materials that undergo actuation, programmed degradation, and programmed self-assembly. Other concepts in the field of stimuli-responsive biomaterials are also welcome.
