Abstract
Several attempts have been made to construct stimuli-responsive polymer solution and gel systems which undergo isothermal phase transitions by external stimulation, such as photons or chemicals. Aqueous solutions of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) having photoisomerizable chromophores or host molecules in the pendant groups showed reversible phase separations by photoirradiation or by the addition of specific metal or ammonium ions. The gels made of the polymers also underwent photostimulated or chemical-induced volume phase transitions.
