Abstract Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm) is the most well-known and widely used
stimuli-responsive polymer in the biomedical field owing to its ability to undergo temperature …

In 1996, the author reported “self-oscillating” polymer gels that spontaneously repeat
swelling–deswelling changes in a closed solution without any on–off switching by external …

Molecule self-assembly is a ubiquitous phenomenon and a key driving force for constructing
nanostructures with diverse morphology and controllable size. Recently, interests in …

As novel functional materials, we developed self-oscillating polymeric materials composed
of synthetic polymers coupled with an oscillating chemical reaction, the so-called Belousov …

The existing methods for exosome isolation, such as ultracentrifugation, size exclusion, and
affinity separation, suffer from some limitations. Herein, we aimed to develop temperature …

The use of poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide)(PNIPAAm) in thermoresponsive interfaces for
biomedical applications has been extensively investigated. Understanding the hydration …

Soft interfaces formed by polymer materials are important interfaces for biological systems
