Abstract:
Intelligent materials, also known as smart materials, are capable of reacting to various external stimuli or environmental changes by rearranging their structure at a molecular level and adapting functionality accordingly. The initial concept of the intelligence of a material originated from the natural biological system, following the sensing–reacting–learning mechanism. The dynamic and adaptive nature, along with the immediate responsiveness, of the polymer- and fiber-based smart materials have increased their global demand in both academia and industry. In this manuscript, the most recent progress in smart materials with various features is reviewed with a focus on their applications in diverse fields. Moreover, their performance and working mechanisms, based on different physical, chemical and biological stimuli, such as temperature, electric and magnetic field, deformation, pH and enzymes, are summarized. Finally, the study is concluded by highlighting the existing challenges and future opportunities in the field of intelligent materials.

Abstract:
Abstract Polymers that respond to small changes in environmental stimuli with large, sometimes discontinuous changes in their physical state or properties are often called “intelligent” or “smart” polymers. We have conjugated these polymers to different recognition proteins, including antibodies, protein A, streptavidin, and enzymes. These bioconjugates have been prepared by random polymer conjugation to lysine amino groups on the protein surface, and also by site-specific conjugation of the polymer to specific amino acid sites, such as cysteine sulfhydryl groups, that are genetically engineered into the known amino acid sequence of the protein. We have conjugated several different smart polymers to streptavidin, including temperature-, pH-, and light-sensitive polymers. The preparation of these conjugates and their many fascinating applications are reviewed here.

Abstract:
Development of porous membranes capable of controlling flow or changing their permeability to specific chemical entities, in response to small changes in environmental stimuli, is an area of appealing research, since these membranes present a wide variety of applications. The synthesis of these membranes has been mainly approached through grafting of environmentally responsive polymers to the surface walls of polymeric porous membranes. This synergizes the chemical stability and mechanical strength of the polymer membrane with the fast response times of the bonded polymer chains. Therefore, different composite membranes capable of changing their effective pore size with environmental triggers have been developed. A recent interest has been the development of porous membranes responsive to light, since these can achieve rapid, remote, noninvasive, and localized flow control. This work describes the synthesis pathway to construct intelligent optothermally responsive membranes. The method followed involved the grafting of optothermally responsive polymer-metal nanoparticle nanocomposites to polycarbonate track-etched porous membranes (PCTEPMs). The nanoparticles coupled to the polymer grafts serve as the optothermal energy converters to achieve optical switching of the pores. The results of the paper show that grafting of the polymer andin situsynthesis of the metallic particles can be easily achieved. In addition, the composite membranes allow fast and reversible switching of the pores using both light and heat permitting control of fluid flow.

Abstract:
Steps towards process control of the complex, multi-variable injection moulding process are presented. In-process measurements, in particular melt and hydraulic pressures in the primary injection stage, are shown to provide a sensitive means of monitoring changes in the process and changes in the polymer feedstock. Correlations have been observed between real time process measurements, in the form of specific time integrals of melt and hydraulic pressure, and product quality measures, such as product weight or dimensions. The research has been validated in both scientific laboratory and factory studies, and for a range of polymers, injection moulding technologies and complexities of product. Such correlations, and the specific integrals upon which they are based, can therefore form the basis of meaningful statistical process control for injection moulding or a viable closed-loop control strategy.

Abstract:
Composites made from wood residues and biomasses, together with either conventional polymers such as polypropylene (PP) and their recyclate streams or with the new emerging biopolymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), were compounded and injection moulded. Mechanical properties and biodegradation analyses were undertaken. The addition of wood flour/sander dust (SD) and wood fibres (WF), to the PP, with suitable compatibilizer, increased the flexural and tensile modulus and strength, indicating a good bond between the fibres and matrix. The tensile and flexural strengths were decreased with the addition of wood fillers, additives and biomasses to a PLA biopolymer blend. Such biomasses and additives increased the biodegradation of the PLA blend, and some control over biodegradation rates was achievable.

Abstract:
Concealed intelligent switches have significant potential for use in security and encryption applications. Recently, several four-dimensional (4D) printed intelligent devices have been designed and fabricated using 3D printing technologies and intelligent materials. These devices have demonstrated stupendous capabilities in smart switches and actuators. In this study, a concealable smart switch that combines a double spiral structure and smart materials is proposed. To achieve the desired performances, the fixity ratio is optimized to values more than 88% by comparing selected structures printed with common shape-memory materials. Furthermore, applications for non-contact circumstances without any control electric circuits (for example, hidden water valves) are also proposed. Results demonstrate that the outputs of the intelligent switches are related to their different input conditions, and the implementation rules can be further used as black box rules for security and encryption applications. Thus, intelligent devices manufactured using 4D printed shape-memory polymers can be applied in various fields such as in intelligent actuators and soft robots.

Abstract:
AbstractFluid viscosity is ubiquitous property and is of practical importance in intelligent fluids, industrial lubrication, and pipeline fluid transportation. Recently, there has been a surging interest in viscosity regulation. Here, we have developed a group of photorheological fluids by utilizing azobenzene polymers with a light-induced microstructure transformation. In this work, a photosensitive polymer with 4,4′-bis-hydroxyazobenzene as the main chain was designed and synthesized as a pivotal functional material. The sufficiently large structural difference under ultraviolet and near-infrared light makes it possible to regulate the viscosity of a polyethylene glycol solution. The viscosity of the photosensitive rheological fluids under ultraviolet light radiation is found to be up to 45.1% higher than that under near-infrared light radiation. To explore this intelligent lubricating technology, the friction regulation of ceramic sliding bearings was investigated utilizing photosensitive rheological fluids. Reversible friction regulation with a ratio of up to 3.77 has been achieved by the alternative irradiation of near-infrared and ultraviolet light, which can be attributed to the differences in mechanical properties and molecular structures under ultraviolet and near-infrared light according to both simulations and experiments. Such photorheological fluids will have promising applications in controllable lubrication, intelligent rheological fluids, and photosensitive dampers.

Abstract:
The widespread concerns about the environmental problems caused by conventional plastic food packaging and food waste led to a growing effort to develop active and intelligent systems produced from renewable biodegradable polymers for food packaging applications. Among intelligent systems, the most widely used are pH indicators, which are generally based on a pH-sensitive dye incorporated into a solid support. The objective of this study was to develop new intelligent systems based on renewable biodegradable polymers and a new bio-inspired pH-sensitive dye. The structure of the dye was elucidated through FT-IR and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses. UV-VIS measurements of the dye solutions at various pH values proved their halochromic properties. Their toxicity was evaluated through theoretical calculations, and no toxicity risks were found. The new anthocyanidin was used for the development of biodegradable intelligent systems based on chitosan blends. The obtained polymeric films were characterized through UV-VIS and FT-IR spectroscopy. Their thermal properties were assessed through a thermogravimetric analysis, which showed a better stability of chitosan–PVA–dye and chitosan–starch–dye films compared to those of chitosan–cellulose–dye films and the dye itself. The films’ sensitivity to pH variations was evaluated through immersion in buffer solutions with pH values ranging from 2 to 12, and visible color changes were observed.

This article describes design and analysis of a novel reversible diaphragm using shape memory polymer. The reversible diaphragm could be applied to space engineering, such as propellant tank of rocket. The shape memory polymer diaphragm can automatically recover to the initial state after the overturning deformation and thus can be used repeatedly. A three-dimensional model is established to study the overturning and recovery behavior of the shape memory polymer diaphragm.The nonlinear finite element method based on the thermodynamic constitutive equations of shape memory polymer is used to obtain pressure -displacement relations and strain energy variation of SMP diaphragm with approximately hemispherical shape in the whole process of the overturning deformation. The influence of structural parameters and temperature on the overturning and recover behavior is discussed.

The least-squares support vector regression (LS-SVR) designs to approximate the solubility temperature of drugs in polymers from polymer and drug types and drug loading in polymers. The structure of this machine learning model is well-tuned by conducting trial and error on the kernel type (i.e., Gaussian, polynomial, and linear) and methods used for adjusting the LS-SVR coefficients (i.e., leave-one-out and 10-fold cross-validation scenarios). Results of the sensitivity analysis showed that the Gaussian kernel and 10-fold cross-validation is the best candidate for developing an LS-SVR for the given task. The built model yielded results consistent with 278 experimental samples reported in the literature. Indeed, the mean absolute relative deviation percent of 8.35 and 7.25 is achieved in the training and testing stages, respectively. The performance on the largest available dataset confirms its applicability. Such a reliable tool is essential for monitoring polymer–drug systems’ stability and deliverability, especially for poorly soluble drugs in polymers, which can be further validated by adopting it to an actual implementation in the future.

Abstract:
Supercapacitors as novel and efficient energy storage devices could provide a higher power density and energy density compared to other electronics and devices. However, traditional supercapacitors are readily damaged, which leads to degraded performance or even failure. To make them more durable and efficient, healable flexible shape memory-based supercapacitors were unprecedentedly explored by a transfer process, in which the conductive nano-carbon networks were decorated with pseudocapacitance materials, followed by embedding them into a shape memory polymer matrix containing healing reagents. The composite exhibited flexibility, supercapacitance and self-healing capability originating from the shape memory effect and healing reagent. The morphologies, thermal, mechanical and capacitive properties, and the self-healability of the composite were investigated. In particular, the influence of the compositions on the healing efficiency was considered. The optimized composite exhibited good capacitance (27.33 mF cm−1), stability (only 4.08% capacitance loss after 1500 cycles) and healable property (up to 93% of the healing efficiency). The findings demonstrated how to endow the flexible polymeric electronics with healable bio-mimetic properties and may greatly benefit the application of intelligent polymers in the field of multi-functional electrical materials.

Abstract:
Background: The clay Montmorillonite (MMT) is among the nanofillers more frequently used in food packaging. The uniform dispersion of nanoparticles in polymers confers considerable improvement of mechanical, thermal, optical, and/or barrier properties in polymer/clay nanocomposites. Objective: The aim is to ascertain the state of the art of the use of MMT for packaging purposes, with special emphasis on food applications. Methods: A literature review was carried out through recent papers and patents that focused on the incorporation of MMT in polymers. Results: This review emphasizes the interaction of MMT with polymers and their levels of incorporation in the nanocomposites. This work also highlights the analytical methodologies used for the characterization of the polymer/clay nanocomposites and the main consequences of the fillers in the properties of nanocomposites. Challenges remain about increasing the compatibility between clays and biopolymers to promote their utilization in food packaging. New strategies for immobilization of oxides, enzymes, essential oils, and other bioactive compounds are needed. Conclusion: MMT-based composite materials are promising to be used in intelligent and active packaging.

Hydrogel refers to a three-dimensional cross-linked polymeric network made of synthetic or natural polymers that can hold water in its porous structure. The inclusion of hydrophilic groups in the polymer chains, such as amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups, contributes to the hydrogel’s water-holding ability. At physiological temperature and pH, these polymeric materials do not dissolve in water, but they do swell significantly in aqueous media. Hydrogel can be manufactured out of almost any water-soluble polymer, and it comes in a variety of chemical compositions and bulk physical properties. Hydrogel can also be made in a variety of ways. Hydrogel comes in a variety of physical shapes, including slabs, microparticles, nanoparticles, coatings, and films. Due to its ease of manufacture and self-application in clinical and fundamental applications, hydrogel has been widely exploited as a drug carrier. Contact lenses, artificial corneas, wound dressing, suture coating, catheters, and electrode sensors are some of the biomedical applications of hydrogels. The pigment color changes were observed from colorless to pale pink followed by dark reddish-pink. Anthocyanin was produced in large quantities and tested using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. At 450–550 nm, the largest peak (absorbance) was detected, indicating the presence of anthocyanin. The FTIR analysis of this study shows the different stretches of bonds at different peaks: 2918.309 (-C-H alkane stretch), 2812.12 (-C-H aldehyde weak intensity), 192320.37/cm (C-O bend), 21915.50, 2029.08/cm (-C=C arene group), 1906.94/cm (=C-H aromatics), 1797.78/cm (=C-H), 1707.94 (-C=O ketene), 1579.70, 1382.96 (C-H alkane strong bend), 889.18/cm (C-H aromatics plane bend), and 412.77/cm (-C-CI strong bond). The spectra of the PVA/chitosan film depict the peak’s formation: 1571.88, 1529.55, 1500.62/cm (C-H alkene strong bend), 1492.90, 1483.26, 1467.83/cm (C-H alkene strong bond), 670.48, 443.63, 412.77/cm (-O-H carboxylic acids with great intensity), 1708.93 (-C=O ketone), and 1656.0/cm (alkenyl C=C stretch strong bond).

Abstract:
Controlled drug delivery technology represents one of the most rapidly advancing areas of science. They offer numerous advantages compared to conventional dosage forms including improved efficacy, reduced toxicity, improved patient compliance and convenience. Over the past several decades, many delivery tools or methods were developed such as viral vector, liposome-based delivery system, polymer-based delivery system, and intelligent delivery system. Recently, nonviral vectors, especially those based on biodegradable polymers, have been widely investigated as vectors. Unlike the other polymers tested, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have been intensively investigated as a family of biodegradable and biocompatible materials forin vivoapplications as implantable tissue engineering material as well as release vectors for various drugs. On the other hand, the direct use of these polyesters has been hampered by their hydrophobic character and some physical shortcomings, while its random copolymers fulfilled the expectation of biomedical researchers by exhibiting significant mechanical and thermal properties. This paper reviews the strategies adapted to make functional polymer to be utilized as delivery system.

Abstract:
The formation and propagation of streamers is an important precursor to determine the characteristics of electrical breakdown of many HV electrode configurations. Understanding of the study of the interaction between the polymer surface and the development process of the streamer is of major importance when we want to improve internal and external performance insulation systems. In this context, a numerical tool using neural networks is developed. This model allows evaluating the speed of streamers as a function of the amplitude of voltage initiation and the nature of the insulating materials. For this, a database was created to train the neural model from a laboratory model. This investigation builds a database for predicting the propagation of streamers on the polymers surface by different neuronal methods and this presents an interesting tool for estimating the propagation phenomena in functions of very important parameters

Abstract:
AbstractRedox-active polymers among the energy storage materials (ESMs) are very attractive due to their exceptional advantages such as high stability and processability as well as their simple manufacturing. Their applications are found to useful in electric vehicle, ultraright computers, intelligent electric gadgets, mobile sensor systems, and portable intelligent clothing. They are found to be more efficient and advantageous in terms of superior processing capacity, quick loading unloading, stronger security, lengthy life cycle, versatility, adjustment to various scales, excellent fabrication process capabilities, light weight, flexible, most significantly cost efficiency, and non-toxicity in order to satisfy the requirement for the usage of these potential applications. The redox-active polymers are produced through organic synthesis, which allows the design and free modification of chemical constructions, which allow for the structure of organic compounds. The redox-active polymers can be finely tuned for the desired ESMs applications with their chemical structures and electrochemical properties. The redox-active polymers synthesis also offers the benefits of high-scale, relatively low reaction, and a low demand for energy. In this review we discussed the relationship between structural properties of different polymers for solar energy and their energy storage applications.

Abstract:
The present study examines the effect of emotional intelligence on turnover intention and organizational indifference, noting the mediating role of organizational commitment. The current model of the study is considered one of the first attempts in examining these variables in the tourism industry. The structural equation modeling has been used to analyze the sample consisting of hotel department managers who have direct contact with the customers. According to the research results, emotional intelligence and organizational commitment decrease turnover intention and organizational indifference of the hotel department managers. In addition, emotional intelligence has been positively associated with the employees' organizational commitment. Finally, it has been found that organizational commitment mediates the effect of emotional intelligence on turnover intention and organizational indifference. Managers at the hotels should have the high emotional intelligence to establish empathy and perseverance to avoid being indifferent. In order to do this, hotel managers’ commitment should be increased to perceive their job as their own.How to Cite:Uzunbacak, H. H., Erhan, T., & Ak akanat, T. (2022).

Abstract:
Subwavelength optical micro/nanofibers have several advantages, such as compact optical wave field and large specific surface area, which make them widely used as basic building blocks in the field of micro-nano optical waveguide and photonic devices. Among them, polymer micro/nanofibers are among the first choices for constructing micro-nano photonic components and miniaturized integrated optical paths, as they have good mechanical properties and tunable photonic properties. At the same time, the structures of polymer chains, aggregated structures, and artificial microstructures all have unique effects on photons. These waveguided micro/nanofibers can be made up of not only luminescent conjugated polymers, but also nonluminous matrix polymers doped with luminescent dyes (organic and inorganic luminescent particles, etc.) due to the outstanding compatibility of polymers. This paper summarizes the recent progress of the light-propagated mechanism, novel design, controllable fabrication, optical modulation, high performance, and wide applications of the polymer micro/nanofiber fluorescence waveguide. The focus is on the methods for simplifying the preparation process and modulating the waveguided photon parameters. In addition, developing new polymer materials for optical transmission and improving transmission efficiency is discussed in detail. It is proposed that the multifunctional heterojunctions based on the arrangement and combination of polymer-waveguided micro/nanofibers would be an important trend toward the construction of more novel and complex photonic devices. It is of great significance to study and optimize the optical waveguide and photonic components of polymer micro/nanofibers for the development of intelligent optical chips and miniaturized integrated optical circuits.

Abstract:
In order to avoid several complications resulted from biodegradable scaffolds or single cell injection, we have developed “cell sheet engineering”. Our concept is novel tissue reconstruction not from single cells but from cell sheets. In order to prepare cell sheets, temperature-responsive culture dishes are utilized. Since temperature-responsive polymers are covalently grafted on the dishes, various types of cells adhere and proliferate on them at 37°C, but are spontaneously detached only by reducing temperature below 32°C without any need for proteolytic enzyme. All the confluent cells are noninvasively harvested as a single contiguous cell sheets with intact cell-cell junctions and deposited extracellular matrix. We have utilized these harvested cell sheets for various tissue reconstructions including ocular surfaces, periodontal ligament, cardiac patches as well as bladder.
