Abstract

Abstract : Front Cover: Molecule‐responsive microsized hydrogels with β‐cyclodextrin as ligands in molecular imprinting are strategically prepared by photopolymerization using a fluorescence microscope. The molecule‐responsive microsized hydrogels show ultra‐quick shrinkage in response to target bisphenol A. The flow rate of a microchannel is autonomously regulated by the molecule‐responsive shrinkage of the hydrogels used as smart microvalves, facilitating the simplification and miniaturization of micro‐total analysis systems (μ‐TAS).
