Designing and Manufacturing of Stimuli-Responsive Polymeric Materials

This issue is now closed for submissions.

Description

Stimuli-responsive polymers are “smart” polymers which can adapt to their surrounding environment by dramatically changing their physiochemical properties upon responding to an external stimulus (e.g., pH, redox, light, mechanical force, temperature, magnetic/electric field, etc.). Over the past decade, enthusiasm in stimuli-responsive polymers has persisted and considerable effort has been devoted to developing novel smart polymer materials as well as their broad use such as self-healing materials, vitrimers, 3D-printing, triggered drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, biosensors, optical systems, and environmental remediation. However, the processing and manufacturing of these polymer materials play a key role in their translation into real-world applications.

This special issue welcomes original research and review articles and aims to further advance this emerging field by collecting the most recent advances in the design of novel stimuli-responsive polymers, as well as processing and manufacturing of stimuli-responsive polymeric materials. The issue will highlight smart polymers with a special focus on the design and manufacturing of polymeric materials in a library of fields, including but not limited to synthetic polymer chemistry, material science, chemical engineering, analytical chemistry, environmental science, renewable energy, industrial production, microelectronics, agriculture science, food science, and biomedical engineering.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Manufacturing of stimuli-responsive polymers
  • Designing of thermoresponsive polymers
  • Processing and manufacturing of photoresponsive polymers
  • Designing and processing of pH-sensitive polymers
  • Designing and manufacturing of electric field-responsive polymers
  • Manufacturing of magnetically responsive polymers
  • Designing and processing of mechanically responsive polymers
  • Designing of redox-responsive polymers
