Grafting polymers onto surfaces at high density to yield polymer brush coatings is a widely employed strategy to reduce biofouling and interfacial friction. These brushes almost universally feature synthetic polymers, which are often heterogeneous and do not readily allow incorporation of chemical functionalities at precise sites along the constituent chains. To complement these synthetic syste...

Hydrogels are the 3 dimensional cross linked polymeric networks which absorb the water 10-20 times of its molecular weight. Hydrogels are sensitive to different environmental stimuli like pH, temperature, ion, electric signals, light, pressure, antigen specific, enzyme sensitive, and glucose levels. When the environment is get change they get swell, and swelling is the most important characteri...

This paper presents a multi-stimuli responsive cocrystal system with luminescent properties that can be dynamically controlled and demonstrates the mechanism of cocrystals under multiple stimuli (acid/alkali vapor, force, heat). Detailed spectroscopic, computational, structural studies exhibit obvious charge transfer interactions occur in loosely mixed-stacking cocrystals. Such weakened by acid...

Stimuli-sensitive hydrogels have an outstanding potential for miniaturized, integrated sensor, and actuator systems especially lab-on-chip technology, but the application is still in its infancy. One major reason may be that design realization of hydrogel-based are exceptionally complex demanding. Here, parameters a key component, valve, discussed their entirety. Key developments fields stimuli...

This work provides a naphthaldehyde-based Schiff base with reversible multiple stimuli-responsive behaviour of AIEE mechanochromic luminescence, which functions as sensitive chemosensor for Cu 2+ ions.
