About Polymer Chameleons
Polymers can be divided into three types: Standard polymers; engineering polymer; and high-performance polymers, which are expensive than the other two due to their functional capacities. They have better mechanical and chemical strength and amazing heat stability. These have high thermal resistance more than 302.2 ºF. Polymer chameleons are placed under high-performance polymers. They are sensitive materials and also called as smart polymers. The polymer chameleons are stimuli-responsive, as they show changes in their microstructure. They can undergo reversible transitions from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic microstructure. The external changes to polymer chameleons can be due to heat, pH (power of hydrogen), magnetic and electric fields, light, ultrasound, ionic strength, and chemical species. Polymer chameleons are synthetic, both bio and hybrid.
