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:

pH- and temperature-responsive poly(aspartic acid)-l-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) conetwork hydrogel
Árpád Némethy,Katalin Solti,Loránd Kiss,Benjámin Gyarmati,Mária A. Deli,Erzsébet Csányi,András Szilágyi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multiresponsive conetwork hydrogel, PASP-l-PNIPAAm, composed of pH-responsive, biodegradable poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) and thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPaam) was synthesized by the reaction of allylamine-grafted polysuccinimide and N-ISOPropyl acrylide in organic medium and subsequent hydrolysis.

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.
