Chemical Society Reviews Blog

We are delighted to present the Chem Soc Rev themed issue on stimuli responsive materials.

Guest editors Patrick Theato, Brent Sumerlin, Rachel O’Reilly and Thomas Epps III introduce the issue in their Editorial.

Many applications in technology, biology, and society do benefit from materials with increased functionality and adaptability. As a result, according to Theato, Sumerlin, O’Reilly and Epps, materials science has rapidly evolved to meet these demands by enabling the preparation and increased fundamental understanding of responsive materials with adaptable properties and behaviours.

Together with our guest editors, we hope this special issue of excellent Review Articles and Tutorial Reviews will serve as a consolidated overview to many of the most important recent advances in the field.
