Research Abstract |
We developed a simple synthesis method of hydrogel micro-structures under ultra-high gravity created by a centrifuge. Using this method, we achieved(1) keepingthe surface of hydrogel micro-structures that can be directly modified with functional molecules,(2) creating anisotropic and multi-compartmentalized hydrogelmicro-structures by using multi-barreled capillary,(3) functionalizing the hydrogelmicro-structures by encapsulating both magnetic nanobeads and living cellsat thesame time, and(4) self-assembling the magnetic-active hydrogel micro-structuresby applying an external magnetic field.
