Schematic description of the fabrication of bilayered hydrogels that show heterogeneous deformation. The hydrogel bilayers were made from poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) via sequential in situ polymerization while controlling the cross-linking density. The linear bilayer curled into a round shape under aqueous conditions, and the patch-type bilayer could be used as the underwater switch.
