Definition:• “Polymer Chameleons’ are stimuli-responsive polymers, also known as “smart” polymers or
“environmentally sensitive” polymers that undergo rapid changes in their microstructure, triggered by changes in the environment.
• External stimuli, including heat, pH, ionic strength, magnetic and electric fields, light, ultrasound, andchemical species.
• Changes are reversible; and the system is capable of returning to its initial state on trigger removal
Why Is It Important?• Ability to change the wettability, permeability, as well as adhesive, adsorptive, mechanical,
and optical properties of the product.
• Ability to adjust in a predictive manner to a certain stimulus or condition is essential for the

• Ability to adjust in a predictive manner to a certain stimulus or condition is essential for thedevelopment of targeted delivery techniques and other biomedical applications.
Key Advantages:• Can regain their original shape/characteristics after the stimulus is removed.• Could be fine tuned for obtaining a desired characteristics of the end product.• Can respond to one or more triggers.
Some Examples:• Synthetic polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) or PNIPAM, para-Methoxy-N-
methylamphetamine or PMMA, poly(methyl acrylate) or PMA.• Bio-polymers such as Proteins (elastin, collagen), Protein analogs, Protein-based polymers, and
Self-assembling peptides.• Hybrid systems such as Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and bio-reinforced polymers.
