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:

Gradient Polymer Layers by “Grafting To” Approach
Leonid Ionov,Bogdan Zdyrko,Alexander Sidorenko,Sergiy Minko,Viktor Klep,Igor Luzinov,Manfred Stamm +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new method for the preparation of ultrathin tethered polymer layers with gradually changing thickness was developed utilizing the grafting to approach, which allowed translation of the tempermature gradient created in a heating stage into a gradient of polymer chain grafting density.
