Summary: The course aims to introduce students to the smart polymer systems that respond reversibly to external stimuli such as temperature, pH, magnetic field, electric field, etc. The main features of different classes of smart polymers are reviewed including general synthetic methods, basic characteristics as well as evaluation of specific properties. In addition, selected examples from their numerous applications are presented. The course is designed for post-graduate students with basic knowledge in the field of organic and polymer chemistry, physical chemistry and materials science.
