In the context of the latter, so called ``smart polymers'' have received a lot of attention. These systems are soluble in water below their lower critical solution temperature T and often exhibit counterintuitive solvation behavior in mixed solvents. A polymer is known as smart-responsive when a slight change in external stimuli can significantly change its structure, functionm and stability. The interplay of different interactions, especially hydrogen bonds, can also be used for the design of lightweight high-performance organic solids with tunable properties. Here, a general scheme for establishing a structure?property relationship is a challenge using the conventional simulation techniques and also in standard experiments. From the theoretical side, a broad range of all-atom, multiscale, generic, and analytical techniques have been developed linking monomer level interaction details with macroscopic material properties. In this review, we briefly summarize the recent developments in the field of smart polymers, together with complementary experiments. For this purpose, we will specifically discuss the following: (1) the solution processing of responsive polymers and (2) their use in organic solids, with a goal to provide a microscopic understanding that may be used as a guiding tool for future experiments and/or simulations regarding designing advanced functional materials. dc:creator: Debashish Mukherji and Kurt Kremer dcterms:created: 2023-08-01T04:28:21Z Last-Modified: 2023-08-01T04:39:52Z dcterms:modified: 2023-08-01T04:39:52Z dc:format: application/pdf; version=1.7 title: Smart Polymers for Soft Materials: From Solution Processing to Organic Solids Last-Save-Date: 2023-08-01T04:39:52Z pdf:docinfo:creator_tool: LaTeX with hyperref access_permission:fill_in_form: true pdf:docinfo:keywords: polymer solution; smart polymers; coil?globule transition; solvent mixtures; organic solids; thermal conductivity pdf:docinfo:modified: 2023-08-01T04:39:52Z meta:save-date: 2023-08-01T04:39:52Z pdf:encrypted: false dc:title: Smart Polymers for Soft Materials: From Solution Processing to Organic Solids modified: 2023-08-01T04:39:52Z cp:subject: Polymeric materials are ubiquitous in our everyday life, where they find a broad range of uses?spanning across common household items to advanced materials for modern technologies.
