8B: Stimuli-Responsive Biomaterials 2

Date: Saturday, March 28, 2026
Time: 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM
Room: Centennial I

Description

Materials that respond to environmental stimuli, such as heat, light, pH, or biological signals, provide unique tools for environmentally-responsive and/or temporal changes in biomaterial properties over time. This session will focus on materials, including hybrid materials, that can be stimulated with a variety of physiological and external stimuli to achieve desired outcomes. Research related to the use of stimuli-responsive materials that respond to endogenous or exogenous signals to (1) trigger drug delivery, (2) study and control the cellular response to microenvironmental changes, and/or (3) drive tissue regeneration and disease treatment is of particular interest.
