Biological Stimuli-responsive Polymer Systems: Design, Construction and Controlled Self-assembly

Biological stimuli-responsive polymers have increasingly attracted attention in recent years because it can satisfy many requirements of applications related with human body while traditional systems do not meet. Due to the importance of this burgeoning field, great efforts have been devoted and, up to now, polymer chemists have made a remarkable success in this prospective research topic. In this review, we systematically generalize the present state of biological stimuli-responsive polymer systems. We highlight several representative examples to specify the current problems and look ahead a clear sense of direction in this area.
