Division/Committee: [POLY] Division of Polymer Chemistry

Polymers can be engineered to exhibit responses to a diverse range of external stimuli, including changes in temperature, light, pH, magnetic fields, electric fields, ultrasonication, and mechanical forces, among others. These stimuli-responsive polymers have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potential applications in various biomedical fields, such as bioimaging, drug delivery, injectables, smart surfaces, adhesives, and tissue engineering. This symposium aims to emphasize the role of stimuli-responsive polymers as functional biomaterials for driving biomedical advancements. With numerous active research groups in this field, we anticipate that this symposium will draw global attention. The organizers of this symposium represent different institutions, including Case Western, Duke, and Incheon National University in Korea.
