Summary:

Smart Polymer Systems 2010 was iSmithers' inaugural international conference on stimuli responsive polymers. These material systems repeatedly dramatically react to small changes in their external environment in a predictable manner.With an immensely wide range of potential applications; biomembranes, intelligent textiles, tissue engineering and smart coatings to name a few - the same thing that makes these materials so exciting, is also the barrier to their commercialisation. The conference highlighted the most recent advances and developments in this rapidly evolving field and provided atten
