“…Nowadays, stimuli-responsive polymers have received more attentions for their potential biomedical applications. A variety of stimuli-responsive polymers whose properties change in response to temperature, pH, ionic strength, light, and chemical stress have been investigated [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Thermo-responsive polymers have been applied in the fields of sensors, catalyst supports, drug carriers, and bio-separation [ 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”
