Recent Progress in Smart Polymers: Behavior, Mechanistic Understanding and Application

Abstract

ABSTRACT Polymers that bear reversible massive, physical or chemical changes in response to little peripheral changes within the environmental conditions are Smart polymers, having versatility and tunable sensitivity. They have very promising applications in the biomedical field. This study will delve into the underlying principles along with entire features of these sensitive polymers and their most current and relevant applications to solve biological problems.
