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:

Tuning the Viscoelastic Properties of Poly(n-butyl acrylate) Ionomer Networks through the Use of Ion-Pair Comonomers
Guodong Deng,Kevin A. Cavicchi +1 more
TL;DR: An organic ion-pair comonomer based on anionic and cationic styrenic monomers was synthesized and copolymerized with n-butyl acrylate (BA) by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to generate physically cross-linked polyampholyte ionomer networks as discussed by the authors.

Yu Jiang,Nikos Hadjichristidis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a novel synthetic strategy towards pH-responsive aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active tetraphenylethene (TPE)-functionalized polyethylene-based block copolymers is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of well‐defined responsive membranes with fixable solvent responsiveness
TL;DR: In this article, a versatile method is described to synthesize a new family of solvent-responsive membranes whose response states can be not only tunable but also fixable via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induced crosslinking.

Water soluble stimuli-responsive star copolymers with multiple encapsulation and release properties
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of three arm star shaped (random/block) and linear water soluble copolymers are synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (DEGMA) and 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacyl (DMAEMA).

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.

Photomechanics: directed bending of a polymer film by light.
TL;DR: It is shown that a single film of a liquid-crystal network containing an azobenzene chromophore can be repeatedly and precisely bent along any chosen direction by using linearly polarized light.
