Stimuli-responsive polymers: Fundamental considerations and applications

The rise of bio-inspired polymer compartments responding to pathology-related signals

“…Predominant environmental changes that can trigger a specific response from a polymer assembly include the variation of pH or ionic strength, the presence of reactive oxygen species, redox agents and other bio-or chemical molecules. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Externally applied stimuli, such as light, temperature, ultrasound and electrical or magnetic fields can also trigger a response in polymer-based assemblies, 12,17-20 but we did not include them in this overview.…”

Research advances in the synthesis and applications of ferrocene‐based electro and photo responsive materials

“…Stimuli‐responsive materials have gained much attention during the past few decades due to stability and flexibility in their structures . They can show alternation and modification in their properties in response to the external stimuli, such as light, redox, temperature, pH and ionic strength . Among all the available physical stimuli, redox and light have dragged much attention .…”

Synthesis of poly(p-phenylene) containing a rhodamine 6G derivative for the detection of Fe(iii) in organic and aqueous media

“…FRET is a nonradiative energy transfer process between an excited donor uorophore and an acceptor uorophore through long-range dipole-dipole interactions. [18][19][20][21] In general, FRET-based CP sensors exhibit high sensitivity over small molecules, because the uorescence of CP could be easily altered by minimal stimuli. [22][23][24][25] We designed a blue-emitting PPP (donor) containing R6G derivative (acceptor) for the FRET-based detection of Fe(III).…”
