摘要

This special issue comprises 20 articles dedicated to the synthesis, properties and applications of multi-responsive polymers. Using the most recent macromolecular tools and polymerization techniques, researchers have devised new macromolecules capable to respond to a variety of different external changes, such a variation in temperature, in light intensity and/or in pH. Such macromolecules can be utilized for a variety of applications, including lectin sensing, controlled drug delivery and others. This is a truly stimulating issue, which shows the synthesis of functional monomers until the preparation of smart materials.
