Responsive Polymers for Analytical and Biosensing Applications

These days responsive polymers are used in a wide range of applications. Around the world researchers have made efforts on responsive polymers with high performance which respond to a variety of stimuli. The stimuli-responsive polymers have the ability to respond physically and chemically in response to environmental changes. Also، these materials have enormous potential in a wide range of modern industries. The environmental changes (or stimuli) can be pH، temperature، ionic strength، light، electric magnetic field. In this paper، we focus on the analytical and biosensing applications. While polymer-based systems can be engineered to respond to a single stimulus، they can also be made to respond to multiple stimuli. Many applications associated with health، energy and the environment. With so much chemical versatility and a wide reaching array of applications، the future is bright for stimuli-responsive polymers.
