Chitosan (CS), CS-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) and their dyed (pyrene) hydrogels were prepared using glutaraldehyde (Glu) as a crosslinker. The gelation rate, swelling behaviors in ethanol/water mixtures, electricity-induced contraction and thermoresponse of the gels were investigated using f
