Towards being genuinely smart: 'isothermally-responsive' polymers as versatile, programmable scaffolds for biologically-adaptable materials

Thermo-responsive polymers are of broad interest in a range of biomedical and biotechnological fields. This review summaries the use of 'isothermal' transitions where thermo-responsive polymers are re-programmed to respond to other stimuli, but with the same outputs, with the aim of making them 'smarter'.
