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:

Contrasting thermoresponsiveness of stereoisomers of a dense 1,2,3-triazole polymer carrying amide side chains
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied the thermoresponsive behavior of stereoisomers of a dense triazole polymer and showed that mixtures of the isotactic one underwent a LCST-type phase transition.

Self-oscillating polymer gels as novel biomimetic materials
TL;DR: The self-oscillating polymers and gels are designed by utilizing the oscillating reaction, called the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction as a chemical model of the TCA cycle, and their potential applications include several kinds of functional material systems, such as biomimetic actuators and mass transport surface.

Design of LCST-type Phase Separation of Poly(4-hydroxystyrene)
TL;DR: In this paper , a new LCST (lower critical solution temperature)-type thermo-responsive polymer at ambient temperature is introduced as a new commercially available poly(4-hydroxylstyrene) was introduced.

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.

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.
