Stimuli-responsive molecular brushes
TLDR
In this paper, the authors review the general aspects of molecular brushes and polymeric responsive systems and highlight the rational approaches to induce stimuli-responsiveness in molecular brush systems, which are unique for molecular brushes since these conformational changes can be restricted to a single molecule.About:

Stepwise Conformational Transitions of Stimuli-Responsive Linear Ternary Heterografted Bottlebrush Polymers in Aqueous Solution
TL;DR: In this article , three dually responsive brush polymers, composed of either two distinct pH-responsive or two different thermoresponsive or one pH- responsive and one thermore-sponsive polymers along with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the side chains, were synthesized by a click grafting-to method.

Living free-radical polymerization by reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer: The RAFT process
John Chiefari,Y. K. Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.

Environment-sensitive hydrogels for drug delivery
Yong Qiu,Kinam Park +1 more
TL;DR: Development of environmentally sensitive hydrogels with a wide array of desirable properties can be made is a formidable challenge, however, if the achievements of the past can be extrapolated into the future, it is highly likely that responsive hydrogelWith such properties can been made.
