Abstract

Responsive hydrogels have attracted researcher’s special attentions. Up to now, a wide variety of responsive hydrogels are continuously constructed and the responsive mechanisms are deeply investigated. Typically, versatile responsive hydrogels with pH responsive, temperature responsive, light responsive properties are constructed. In this item, temperature responsive hydrogels received much attention and were also extensive investigated. The construction methods, responsive mechanism and related applications of the temperature responsive hydrogels may provide a significant guide in the redesign and application of responsive hydrogels.

Highlights

  • IntroductionThe responsive hydrogels based on enzyme responsive [17,18], calcium responsive [19,20], glucose responsive [21,22], redox responsive [23,24], ionicstrength responsive [25,26], and chemical responsive[27] are exhibited amazing responsive abilities

  • As a kind of smart materials, responsive hydrogels exhibit the rapidly responsive ability and sharp volume phase transitions according to the external stimuli from environment

  • With special three-dimensional polymer network cross linked by chemical bonds or physical nodes, hydrogels exhibited the unique property of swollen behavior

Summary

Introduction

The responsive hydrogels based on enzyme responsive [17,18], calcium responsive [19,20], glucose responsive [21,22], redox responsive [23,24], ionicstrength responsive [25,26], and chemical responsive[27] are exhibited amazing responsive abilities. Among these insights, temperature responsive hydrogels are important.
