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:

Double thermoresponsive di- and triblock copolymers based on N-vinylcaprolactam and N-vinylpyrrolidone: synthesis and comparative study of solution behaviour
Anthony Kermagoret,Kevin Mathieu,Jean-Michel Thomassin,Charles-André Fustin,Roland Duchêne,Christine Jérôme,Christophe Detrembleur,Antoine Debuigne +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the cobalt-mediated radical polymerization (CMRP) and reaction coupling (CMRC) for synthesizing a series of well-defined NVCL and NVP-based copolymers, including double thermoresponsive diblocks and triblocks.

Chitosan scaffolds with a shape memory effect induced by hydration.
Cristina Correia,João F. Mano +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that chitosan-based porous scaffolds can present a shape memory effect triggered by hydration and are candidates of biomaterials for applications in minimally invasive surgery for tissue regeneration or for drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoresponsive luminescent electrospun fibers prepared from poly(DMAEMA-co-SA-co-StFl) multifunctional random copolymers.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ES fibers prepared from multifunctional copolymers exhibited the thermoreversible variation on both volume and photoluminescence intensity.

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.
