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.

Palladium nanoparticles-anchored dual-responsive SBA-15-PNIPAM/PMAA nanoreactor: a novel heterogeneous catalyst for a green Suzuki─Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

TL;DR: In this article, a sustainable and cost-effective catalyst for cross-coupling reactions, dual temperature and pH-responsive poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PNIPAM/PMAA) functionalised SBA-15 was synthesized via free radical polymerisation using potassium persulfate as an initiator and decorated with palladium nanoparticles.

How useful is SBF in predicting in vivo bone bioactivity

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.
