Abstract
The efforts of the scientific community to mimic nature in terms of living styles related to creatures accept their actions as a function of ecological conditions to advance the standard of survival style. In this logic, smart polymers propose materials that react to many stimuli such as pH, temperature, light, magnetic and electric fields, light intensity, biological molecules, etc. Smart polymers have gained an enormous amount of attention in this new era due to their countless applications in zones including biosensors, switchable wettability, actuators, and several therapeutic and environmental-based applications. Several rigorous researches have been carried out to improve smart polymers using different stimuli-responsive polymeric moieties. This chapter summarizes the basic introduction/classification of smart polymers and their importance at a nanocomposite level. Some introduction related to the most familiar applications of smart polymer nanocomposite materials are also summarized in this chapter.
