Responsive Polymers for Detection and Sensing Applications: Current Status and Future Developments
Abstract
The past two decades have evidenced a tremendous growth in the field of responsive polymers, which can exhibit reversible or irreversible changes in physical properties and/or chemical structures to an external stimulus such as pH, temperature, ionic strength, light irradiation, mechanical forces, electric and magnetic fields, specific analytes, external additives (ions, bioactive molecules, etc.), or a combination of them. Responsive polymers can exist in the form of solutions, gels, self-assembled nanoparticles, (multilayer) films, and bulk solids. The field of responsive polymers has nowadays evolved well beyond the demonstration of novel and interesting properties. Currently, the exploitation of useful and advanced functions, e.g., drug or gene carriers with triggered release properties, catalysis, detection and imaging, environmentally adaptive coatings, and self-healing materials, has emerged to be a more relevant subject. In this Perspective, we focus on recent developments of responsive polymer-based chemo- and biosensors, highlighting this concept with selected literature reports. Such functional polymeric materials show prominent advantages such as tunable detection sensitivity, structural stability, aqueous dispersibility, biocompatibility, processability, and facile integration into detection devices, as compared to their small molecule analogues.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
