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:

Development of an aptamer-functionalized molecular recognition gating membrane targeting a specific protein on the basis of the aggregation phenomena of DNA–PNIPAM
TL;DR: This study examined PNIPAM aggregation due to thrombin recognition in a linear polymer system, characterized the opening and closing behavior of the membrane and proved the concept of gating membrane.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugated polymer-based chemical sensors.
TL;DR: When considering new sensory technologies one should look to nature for guidance, as living organisms have developed the ultimate chemical sensors.
