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:

Biocompatible and acid-cleavable poly(ε-caprolactone)-acetal-poly(ethylene glycol)-acetal-poly(ε-caprolactone) triblock copolymers: synthesis, characterization and pH-triggered doxorubicin delivery
TL;DR: This work provides a facile strategy for the preparation of a new type of biodegradable amphiphilic copolymer as a highly promising intracellular delivery system for hydrophobic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel doxorubicin-loaded in situ forming gel based high concentration of phospholipid for intratumoral drug delivery
TL;DR: The in vivo biodistribution study showed the high Dox concentration in tumors compared with other major organs after PME-D intratumoral administration, and the strong signal in tumors was retained for more than 14 days after one single injection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled Sol-Gel Transitions of a Thermoresponsive Polymer in a Photoswitchable Azobenzene Ionic Liquid as a Molecular Trigger.
TL;DR: An azobenzene IL as a molecular switch can tune the self-assembly of a thermoresponsive polymer, leading to macroscopic light-controlled sol-gel transitions.

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.

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.
