A team of researchers from Tufts University in Medford, MA have put together a review article, which discusses recent developments in stimuli-responsive membranes with an emphasis on membranes ...

Stimulus sensitivity: They contain specific responsive groups that react to external triggers such as heat, light, mechanical stress, electric and magnetic fields, gases, pH, or particular chemicals.

In a recent Communications Chemistry article, researchers presented a novel approach to interfacing with neuronal structures using light-responsive azobenzene polymer thin films. Image Credit: ...

A recent article in Advanced Materials explores the temperature-driven swelling and wetting behavior of polymer brushes made from poly(octadecyl methacrylate) (P18MA ...

From ultra-sensitive sensors to shape-shifting implants, stimuli-responsive smart materials react reversibly to heat, light, stress, or pH. They could transform devices and therapies once issues in ...
