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 chains. Responsive properties are widely discussed based on phase transition mechanisms in a controlled environment when changes are induced by solvent quality, temperature, concentration of ions, and interactions with ...

This thesis discusses innovative approaches to polymer-based photonic coatings, with the present chapter presenting an overview of developments in this field. The coatings in question can change their topological properties in a reversible, dynamic way when exposed to an external stimulus. This thesis will first describe photoresponsive coatings that change their surface topography and therefor...

Responsive polymer thin films play an important role as structural components in the emerging fields of soft actuators, wearable electronics, and biomedical devices. These are capable changing their physical and/or chemical properties significantly response to environmental stimuli, such temperature, light, pH, magnetic fields, ion strength. The integration multifunctional designs networks enab...

Objective(s): For cancer cells, an efficient and selective drug delivery vehicle can remarkably improve therapeutic approaches. This paper focuses on the synthesis and characterization of magnetic MnFe2O4 NPs and their incorporation in a dual temperature and pH-responsive polymer, which can serve as an efficient drug carrier. Materials and Methods: MnFe2O4 NPs were synthesized by chemical co-pr...
