In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of
supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the …

Stimuli-responsive polymer gels have received considerable attention due to their singular
mechanical properties, which make them materials of choice for niche applications. Polymer …

Stimulus-responsive polymer brushes (SRPBs) exhibit a change in conformation and
structure, often accompanied by a noticeable change in surface energy, due to an external …

The review focuses on responsive/switching behavior of polymer brushes. The structure of
the polymer brushes is analyzed in terms of the constitution and conformation of polymer …

In tissue engineering, it is imperative to control the behaviour of cells/stem cells, such as
adhesion, proliferation, propagation, motility, and differentiation for tissue regeneration …

This work describes the synthesis of temperature-responsive polystyrene-block-poly (N-
isopropylacrylamide)-block-polystyrene triblock copolymers, ie, PS-b-PNIPAM-b-PS, their …

Abstract Microscale, quasi‐2D Au–polymer brush composite objects are fabricated by a
versatile, controllable process based on microcontact printing followed by brush growth and …

Poly (methacrylic acid) brushes have been prepared utilizing the “grafting from” technique
and a living radical synthesis route using a two stage process. Firstly a poly (1-ethoxyethyl …

We have used neutron reflectometry to investigate the behavior of a strong polyelectrolyte
brush on a sapphire substrate, grown by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from a …

Oscillatory chemical reactions have been drawing the attention of researchers for a number
of decades. More recently, the ability of the reactions to work as the driving force for smart …
