Smart hydrogels are of great interest in areas such as drug delivery and sensing. Dendrimer-based hydrogels can exhibit tunable properties due to their structural precision. We prepared hydrogels from self-immolative dendrons. Controlled hydrogel degradation in response to light was demonstrated and...
