Abstract

(Figure Presented) See the shrink: Systematic modification of poly(methyl methacrylate) leads to a chemomechanical polymer that selectively contracts in the presence of glucose at physiological levels in human blood plasma. The polymer also exhibits good reversibility allowing continuous expansion-contraction cycles. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
