Responsive polymer materials can adapt to surrounding environments, regulate transport of ions and molecules, change wettability and adhesion of different species on external stimuli, or convert chemical and biochemical signals into optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical signals, and vice versa. These materials are playing an increasingly important part in a diverse range of applications, such as drug delivery, diagnostics, tissue engineering and 'smart' optical systems, as well as biosensors, microelectromechanical systems, coatings and textiles. We review recent advances and challenges in the developments towards applications of stimuli-responsive polymeric materials that are self-assembled from nanostructured building blocks. We also provide a critical outline of emerging developments.
响应性聚合物材料可以适应周围环境，调节离子和分子的传输，改变不同物种对外界刺激的润湿性和附着力，或者将化学和生物化学信号转换为光学、电学、热学和力学信号，反之亦然。这些材料在各种应用中发挥着越来越重要的作用，如药物输送、诊断、组织工程和“智能”光学系统，以及生物传感器、微机电系统、涂层和纺织品。我们综述了在由纳米结构构建块自组装的刺激响应性聚合物材料的应用开发方面的最新进展和挑战。我们还批判性地概述了新兴的发展趋势。
