Polymerization of oligo(ethylene glycol) (meth)acrylates: Toward new generations of smart biocompatible materials
TL;DR: Non linear PEG analogues can be either insoluble in water, readily soluble up to 100 °C, or thermoresponsive, and can be used for building a wide variety of modern materials such as biosensors, artificial tissues, smart gels for chromatography, and drug carriers.
Journal ArticleDOI
New directions in thermoresponsive polymers.
TL;DR: By highlighting recent examples of newly developed thermoresponsive polymer systems, it is hoped to promote the development of new generations of smart materials.
