TLDR
In this article, a review examines physico-chemical requirements necessary to achieve stimuli-responsiveness in heterogeneous polymer networks as well as discusses recent developments and future trends while individual structural components of polymeric networks are responsible for localized chainresponsiveness, desirable spatial and energetic network properties are necessary for collective and orchestrated responsiveness to external or internal stimuli.About:

Phenomenological model and working mechanism of bio-inspired polymeric composites driven by water gradient
TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological model is presented to investigate the underlying mechanism and predict the bio-inspired performance under different thermo-temporal conditions, and the results show that the influence of potential energy on deformation can be related to a stretching ratio that uniquely determines water sorption/desorption, locomotion frequency and contractile stress.

How useful is SBF in predicting in vivo bone bioactivity
Tadashi Kokubo,Hiroaki Takadama +1 more
TL;DR: Examination of apatite formation on a material in SBF is useful for predicting the in vivo bone bioactivity of a material, and the number of animals used in and the duration of animal experiments can be reduced remarkably by using this method.
