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:

Polymer Bragg stack as color tunable photonic paper
Zhanhua Wang,Junhu Zhang,Jing Xie,Zhaoyi Wang,Yushu Yin,Jiaxin Li,Yunfeng Li,Sen Liang,Liang Zhang,Liying Cui,Hao Zhang,Bai Yang +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the photonic paper is prewritten by ultraviolet light cross-linking with a photo mask and read with water as ink, and the writing and erasing process is smoothly reversible by repeatedly exposing the material to water and air.

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.
