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.

Multi‐Responsive Supramolecular Gels Based on Charge Transfer Interactions

TL;DR: The co-assembly of aromatic donor and acceptor molecules into purple sponge-like supramolecular gels through susceptible charge transfer interactions with the aid of solvophobic interactions renders the D-A gels as a potential detector for sensing complex chemical environments.

Upper Critical Solution Temperature‐Type Thermal Response of Soluble Multi‐l‐Arginyl‐Poly‐l‐Aspartic Acid (cyanophycin) Conjugated with Maltodextrin

TL;DR: In an attempt to alter the UCST thermal response, maltodextrin was employed to conjugate onto the amine group of lysine of sMAPA via the formation of Schiff base, which became independent of pH ranging from 1 to 11.
