Abstract

Emerging applications in materials, biomedical, and nano sciences demand new “intelligent” polymeric materials, which possess the capacity to adapt or undergo a macroscopic response to changes in their environments.[1] In this regard, there exist already a number [2] of conventional stimuliresponsive polymers that can respond to input stimuli, such as changes in temperature or pH, by undergoing a reversible phase transition. ...
