Smart polymers are high-performance materials that change as a response to the environment. They show sharp, predictive, and large change in properties upon small changes in the external environment like temperature, pH, light, radiation, enzymes, bacteria, virus, etc. They impact in biomedicine, in optical applications, and in mechanical devices for artificial muscles, self propelled movement, self-healing and shape-memory systems.
