“…Chemo‐responsive materials can adapt to surrounding environments, regulate transport of ions and molecules, change chemical or physical properties on external stimuli, or convert chemical signals into optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical signals (Stuart et al , 2010; Wu et al , 2011). These materials are playing an increasingly important part in a diverse range of applications, such as drug delivery, diagnostics, tissue engineering, therapeutics and regenerative medicine, as well as biosensors, microelectromechanical systems, coatings and textiles (Yao and Tam, 2011; Chen et al , 2010; Nandivada et al , 2010). Although chemo‐responsive materials have a number of advantages and their potential applications are expected to be large.…”
