- Abstract:
- This feature article provides, for the first time, an overview of the research that guided the way
from fundamental studies of the thermo-responsive phase separation of aqueous polymer
solutions to polymeric sensor systems. The incorporation of solvatochromic dyes into
thermoresponsive polymers as well as the concepts of polymeric sensors are presented and
discussed in detail.
