Global Smart Polymers Market Overview:
Smart polymeric materials respond by large changes due to small changes in the environment. The smart polymers undergo fast and reversible changes in the microstructure from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic state that are triggered by small stimuli in the environment. The changes are apparent at the microscopic level as precipitate formation from a solution accompanied by phase separation from aqueous solution or order of magnitude changes in the hydrogel size. This old phenomenon is reversible, the system returning to its initial state when the trigger is removed. Physical changes include change in temperature, ionic strength and electromagnetic radiation.
