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:

MIP as Drug Delivery Systems of Anticancer Agents
Jing Feng,Zhaosheng Liu +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the use of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) as drug delivery systems (DDS) for anticancer agents, which can not only realize the active targeting of anticancer drugs, but also respond to stimuli responsive specifically, thereby releasing anticancers agents specifically and realizing effective treatment of cancer.

Various Functional and Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogel Based on Polyaspartamides
Bo Wang,Ji-Heung Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this chapter, various different stimuli-responsive (temperature, pH, ion, redox, CO2, etc.), physical and chemical, hydrogel systems based on polyaspartamides will be reviewed with interests for the development of various smart biomaterials and industrial polymeric gels.
Book ChapterDOI
Switchable solvents for catalysis
TL;DR: Switchable solvents are those substances that change physical characteristics reversibly as mentioned in this paper , such as variations in climate as well as the insertion or reduction of a fuel, this unique property results from a reversible reaction.

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.
