Reaction-diffusion hydrogels from urease enzyme particles for patterned coatings

Enzyme reaction networks can control the spatial and temporal formation of hydrogels. Here, inspired by biofilm formation, urease-containing particles create a propagating pH gradient which induces thiol-acrylate polymerization, with properties tuned by solution viscosity, particle dimensions, and s...
