Fully 4D-Printed Near-Infrared-Actuated Lab-on-Valve Solid-Phase Extraction Devices.

ABSTRACT: Four-dimensional printing (4DP) technologies can expand the functionality of stimuli-responsive devices to enable the integration of multiple stimuli-responsive parts into a compact device. Herein, we used digital light processing three-dimensional printing technique, flexible photocurable resins, and photocurable resins of the temperature-responsive hydrogels comprising N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), N,N'-methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBA), and graphene for 4DP of a lab-on-valve (LOV) solid-phase extraction (SPE) device. This device featured flow manifolds and a monolithic packing connected by four near-infrared (NIR)-actuated temperature-responsive switching valves composed of a poly(NIPAM/MBA) (PNM) ball pushing a flexible membrane. NIR irradiation caused the deswelling
