[Answered]: Electric field responsive hydrogels are hydrogels…

Electric field responsive hydrogels are hydrogels that undergo a shape change when placed in an electrolyte under an electric field. Which hydrogel or hydrogels exhibit electric field responsiveness? Explain the reason. 5 b) Chitosan is a naturally derived hydrogel obtained from the exoskeletons of crustaceans (e.g. crabs, lobster). Is chitosan pH-sensitive and what pH condition (acidic or basic) will most likely cause swelling of chitosan? (Hint: check the functional group of chitosan)
