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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic covalent bond from first principles: Diarylbibenzofuranone structural, electronic, and oxidation studies
TL;DR: The results show that the barrierless DABBF bond formation is preferred over autoxidation due to the charge transfer process that results in the weakly bonded superoxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of temperature on the fluorescence emission of carbazole-substituted methylcellulose in dilute aqueous solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step reaction by firstly introducing epoxy group to carbazole, and then reacting with methylcelluloses (Cz-MCs) was characterized by using FTIR, NMR, elemental analysis and UV-vis spectroscopy.
Book ChapterDOI
Stimulus-Responsive Soft Surface/Interface Toward Applications in Adhesion, Sensor and Biomaterial
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the advances in the area of stimulus-responsive gas-solid and liquid-solid surfaces/interfaces and discuss the challenges and future trends in this exciting field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of Comb-type self-oscillating gels by atom transfer radical polymerization for controlling autonomous swelling/deswelling behavior
TL;DR: In this paper , a grafted chain was introduced to the base gel network by the “grafting from” method and atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).

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.
Book
Investigations on the theory of the Brownian movement
TL;DR: Alfaro et al. as discussed by the authors conservado en la Biblioteca del Campus de Mostoles de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (sign. 530.12 EIN INV).
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
