There has been concerted effort across scientific disciplines to develop artificial materials and systems that can help researchers understand natural stimuli–responsive activities. With its up–to–date coverage on intelligent stimuli–responsive materials, Intelligent Stimuli–Responsive Materials provides research, industry, and academia professionals with the fundamentals and principles of intelligent stimuli–responsive materials, with a focus on methods and applications. Emphasizing nanostructures and applications for a broad range of fields, each chapter comprehensively covers a different stimuli–responsive material and discusses its developments, advances, challenges, analytical techniques, and applications.
