In nature, many soft supporting tissues capable of withstanding multiform external forces
during various activities consist of high strength hydrogels (HSHGs) in their delicately …

Understanding the surrounding atmosphere and reacting accordingly with a precise action
are always fascinating features of a material. Materials that pose such responsiveness are …

Responsive polymer systems have the ability to change properties or behavior in response
to external stimuli. The properties of responsive polymer systems can be fine‐tuned by …

Polymersomes, the structural analogues of liposomes, are hollow structures enclosed by a
bilayer membrane made from amphiphilic copolymers. Polymersomes have been proposed …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

CO2-responsive materials undergo a change in chemical or physical properties in response
to the introduction or removal of CO2. The use of CO2 as a stimulus is advantageous as it is …

The development of polymeric materials with switchable properties upon exposure to
external stimuli such as light, heat, force, acids/bases, and chemicals has attracted much …

Rapidly growing demand of functional polymers in various interdisciplinary areas of
research has accentuated the need for modern synthetic tools to develop advanced …

Polymer vesicles, also known as polymersomes, are finding increasing applications in
biomedical field, including drug delivery, gene therapy, magnetic resonance imaging …

CO2 is an ideal trigger for switchable or stimuli-responsive materials because it is benign,
inexpensive, green, abundant, and does not accumulate in the system. Many different CO2 …
