PH-sensitive polymers

ID: ph-sensitive-polymers

pH-sensitive polymers, also known as pH-responsive polymers or smart polymers, are materials that undergo a significant change in their properties in response to variations in pH. These changes can manifest in different ways, such as alterations in solubility, swelling behavior, mechanical properties, or surface charge. ### Key Characteristics: 1. **Responsive Behavior**: The primary feature of pH-sensitive polymers is their ability to respond to changes in the acidity or basicity of their environment.
