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:

Hybrid polymer composite membrane for an electromagnetic (EM) valveless micropump
Muzalifah Mohd Said,Muzalifah Mohd Said,Jumril Yunas,Badariah Bais,Azrul Azlan Hamzah,Burhanuddin Yeop Majlis +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid membrane used as an actuator in an electromagnetically driven valveless micropump developed using MEMS processes is reported. And the experimental results show that the magnetic composite actuator membrane with an attached bulk permanent magnet is capable of producing a maximum membrane deflection of up to 106 µm.

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.
