Stimuli responsiveness in polymer design is providing basis for diversely new and advanced materials that exhibit switchable porosity in membranes and coatings, switchable particle formation and thermodynamically stable nanoparticle dispersions, polymers that provide directed mechanical stress in response to intensive fields, and switchable compatibility of nanomaterials in changing environments. The incorporation of ionic liquid monomers has resulted in many new polymers based on the imidazolium group. These polymers exhibit all of the above-articulated material properties. Some insight into how these anion responsive polymers function has become empirically available. Much opportunity remains for extending our understanding as well as for designing more refined stimuli-responsive materials.
聚合物设计中的刺激响应为各种新颖先进的材料提供了基础，这些材料在膜和涂层中表现出可切换的多孔性、可切换的颗粒形成和热力学稳定的纳米颗粒分散体、在强场下提供定向机械应力的聚合物，以及在变化的环境中可切换的纳米材料相容性。离子液体单体的引入导致了许多基于咪唑基团的新型聚合物。这些聚合物表现出所有上述的材料特性。人们已经获得了一些关于这些阴离子响应聚合物如何发挥作用的经验性见解。在扩展我们的理解以及设计更精细的刺激响应材料方面，仍然有很多机会。
