Abstract

Abstract : Skin goosebumps form in response to specific internal/external stimuli in the environment. In article number1902376, Bin Li and co‐workers develop goosebumps‐inspired microgel patterns based on self‐assembled thermoresponsive microgels on polymer brushes modified substrate through electrostatic adsorption. The temperature responsiveness of the microgel monolayer assemblies allows reversible changes in the film morphology, which in turn affects underwater adhesion and friction.
