Abstract

Responsive hydrogels have attracted researcher’s special attentions. Up to now, a wide variety of responsive hydrogels are continuously constructed and the responsive mechanisms are deeply investigated. Typically, versatile responsive hydrogels with pH responsive, temperature responsive, light responsive properties are constructed. In this item, temperature responsive hydrogels received much attention and were also extensive investigated. The construction methods, responsive mechanism and related applications of the temperature responsive hydrogels may provide a significant guide in the redesign and application of responsive hydrogels.
