Polymer-based smart materials have become attractive in recent
years due to the fact that polymers are flexible and provide many
advantages compared to inorganic smart materials: they are low
cost, they are easy to process, and they exhibit good performance
at nano- and microscale levels. This volume focuses on a different
class of polymers that are used as smart materials in the areas of
biotechnology, medicine, and engineering. The volume aims to answer
these questions: How do we distinguish 'smart materials'? and How
do they work? The chapters lay the groundwork for assimilation and
exploitation of this technological advancement. Four of the key
aspects of the approach that the authors have developed throughout
this book are highlighted, namely the multidisciplinary exchange of
knowledge, exploration of the relationships between multiple scales
and their different behaviors, understanding that material
properties are dictated at the smallest scale, and, therefore, the
recognition that macroscale behavior can be controlled by nanoscale
design.
