Abstract

A nanogel-in-microfiber device, whose release can be switched on and off in response to a temperature change, is successfully developed. The release behaviors are realized through the deswelling and swelling of the nanogels in shell layer of fiber by alternatively elevating and lowering the environmental temperature.
