Large-scale structural color flexible coatings have been hard to create, and patterning color on them is key to many applications, including large-area strain sensors, wall-size displays, security devices, and smart fabrics. To achieve controlled tuning, a micro-imprinting technique is applied here to pattern both the surface morphology and the structural color of the polymer opal films (POFs)....

Smart materials that can reverse one or more of their functional structural properties according to the external stimulus are most trending topic our time. Many fields, including medicine, benefit from smart polymers, which these materials. In this review, we will talk about synthetic piezoelectric members polymer family, and give an overview use in different medical fields examine points where...

Water soluble polymers with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) are of increasing interest for biological applications such as cell patterning, smart drug release, DNA sequencing etc. The present study addresses control of the polymer temperature response in water by varying chemical composition of the monomer. In order to achieve this a series of polymers were designed and synth...

Controlled drug delivery is useful because it allows to obtain better drug product effectiveness, reliability and safety. Interest in stimuli-responsive polymers is steadily gaining increasing momentum especially in the fields of controlled and self-regulated drug delivery. Stimuliresponsive or “smart“ polymers are macromolecules that display a significant physiochemical change in response to s...
