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.

Rheological investigation of magnetic sensitive biopolymer composites: effect of the ligand grafting of magnetic nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the steady shear flow and viscoelastic properties of composite materials elaborated by introduction of positively charged polyol-made maghemite nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous solutions of negatively charged sodium alginate polymers were highlighted.

Grafting of multi-sensitive PDMAEMA brushes onto carbon nanotubes by ATNRC: tunable thickening/thinning and self-assembly behaviors in aqueous solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, a modification of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with different molecular weight poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) was high-efficiently realized by atom transfer nitroxide radical coupling (ATNRC), which was confirmed by 1H NMR, TEM and thermogravimetric analyses.

Facile access to functional polyacrylates with dual stimuli response and tunable surface hydrophobicity

TL;DR: In this article, magnetic separable and reusable Ni-Co alloy nanoparticles were employed to achieve ambient temperature reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) of methyl acrylate (MA), yielding well-defined PMA (at least up to 124 500 g mol−1) with a low dispersity ( ≤ 1.20).

Vinyl Iodide Containing Polymers Directly Prepared via an Iodo-yne Polymerization

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the iodo-yne polymers can be modified at the vinyl iodide functionality via a variety of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, and the iodide can be eliminated to give electronically activated alkynes that can undergo cycloa...

How useful is SBF in predicting in vivo bone bioactivity

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.

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.
