Abstract

This chapter describes polymers that undergo a temperature-induced phase transition in aqueous solution, which provides an important basis for smart materials. The basic principles of the upper and lower critical temperature polymer phase transitions will be discussed as well as key types of such temperature-responsive polymers and selected potential applications.
