abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of transport using a hydrogel material, the method comprising: providing a hydrogel material comprising a polymer scaffold comprising a plurality of pores, the polymer scaffold having an affinity to an active component; mixing the hydrogel material with liquid to cause the polymer scaffold to swell to a pore size, the pore size configured to allow the active component to pass therethrough; binding the active component with the hydrogel material; and exposing the hydrogel material to one or more stimuli, thereby causing the hydrogel material to release the active component. Also disclosed herein are hydrogel materials used for the same.
